CASINO

 

I miss you with every smile,

Life is lonely without your style,

If I could be next to you,

Life would be everything and true.

 

All I want is you here with me,

The storm keeps coming while it tears down trees,

If I could just hear your voice or your breath,

Life would be remarkable wouldn’t you agree.

 

I don’t get to hold your hand,

I’m holding on, wearing my wedding band,

I’m playing slots tonight to past the time,

I’m behind a lot, waiting for that win to climb.

 

It’s four in the morning and its dark,

I want to go home but I forgot where I parked,

So I stay alone in this hotel room,

With no one to laugh with on this summer day in June.

 

If I could just smell your skin,

Or comb your hair while I take out the pins,

I miss your affection and attention,

Also, your sweet lips, if I forgot to mention.

 

My finances are just a mess right now,

Eating out, gambling and I don’t know how,

I’m in the red every week,

I don’t know what to do or what to seek.

 

I walked downtown and didn’t see your face,

I even ate dinner at our favourite place,

No sign of you and silence is all that I hear,

I think you said, “I love you”, was your last words.

 

Another month goes by,

Without seeing your sparkling eyes,

All I wish for, is to you to come home

As this will be the last line in my poem.
