Addicts

It was always your game but

I craved you like the narcotics you abuse

I inhaled and tasted you like a delicious opiate

I drank you in like liquer, and the more I sipped, the headier I felt.

Lustfully drugged, I offered you all I had.

You welcomed my attention

And you placed your bets with nothing to lose

Whilst I risked everything

Just for you.

And in my head, I have silently killed you a dozen times.

People join us at the table, but they dont see

How much I've lost and how I'm drowning in your debt.

And you laugh. You laugh long and loud

at me,  the hilarious punchline.

It was never my intention to amuse

But now, now I see

The cards you played were the stronger hand

And I am the Joker

Not even thought about

As you look for your next safe bet.
