A pair of eyes meet
Another and lock
Like the doors
Closing gently
Dice tumble
Rolling across
Heavy green
Thrown, heavy handed
A thread is severed
Woven thick
To keep out the cold
Now unravels
Wages won, lost
A toll of flesh due
Sufferance, weight
The demon's due
Invisible imp
Gambler's bane
Play at lives
Thirsty for pain

A pair of eyes meet
Another and lock
Like the doors
Closing gently
Dice tumble
Rolling across
Heavy green
Thrown, heavy handed
A thread is severed
Woven thick
To keep out the cold
Now unravels
Wages won, lost
A toll of flesh due
Sufferance, weight
The demon's due
Invisible imp
Gambler's bane
Play at lives
Thirsty for pain
