life's nasty game
of trick and of chance
to dwell in your thoughts
and within your dreams prance
taking or giving
what suits its demise
life seems only to want
what's unfair - and unwise
tormenting and stealing
that which you so crave
leaving you empty
confused and within - dazed.
holding you captive
to what you desire
not caring or trusting
if your soul does expire.
life's cruel jest
does play itself well
for it uses your heaven
to toss you in hell!
