CASINO, By Ryan Guiley June 29, 2015
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.
