Gamble

Two steps forward
Three steps back
The gambler throws his dice
And with it goes happiness.
No longer is Alyssa and Nick's daddy
No longer is he Fido's owner
No longer is he Lisa's wife
No longer does he live in
The nice blue split level
On Baker Street.
No.
He lives in the casino
Giving what he doesn't have
But he can't stop throwing dice
And gambling for his life.
