What You'Re Able

So again you say what it is you say same different day because that’s all there ever was whenever you’d play the minimum chips you barely waged and yet I stupidly played and played at this gambling you staged. You want to cut you want to maim so now I’m All In I’ll play your game you want to hurt you want to shame you know what you know but if it’s all the same two can play blackjack though my stakes aren’t the blame. I’m not the dealer of jealousy of afflictions overbearing interrogating no I can play at love I can risk it all I can call I can show you my hand never could manage the bluff yes now all my words are cut in a huff. You should stick to the roulette wheel you can’t hang and you can’t deal you’re paranoid so suspicious you can’t feel can’t see the options while trying to guess placing cautions within your chest put your gun to my head I’m on my knees in your small world betting my chips I played with ease. Get over yourself don’t hedge the bet nothing is able to get your needs met you wear your pain like a suit of armor use it like a poisoned snake charmer it’s all so shiny with a diamond chain a five and dime sells the knockoff and I’m insane? So toss your cards onto the pile fold you’re in denial you’re quite able to go so now you’ve been told play the slots it costs a lot less you can still call the shots fold and get out that’s what you’re about you never sat down with any real clout. Cookie cut a path to your understanding post a lucky piece crowd commanding something from 2 years ago when you tried before to win the bet to win your loot hit the craps table grab dice to shoot get up and go stay where you know dump the card table you reap what you reap you’ll sow what you’re able.
