rolling the dice

you have never been
good at gambling,
but you keep at it.
despite
the many relationships
you've been in
you keep your unlucky
streak going.
you've rolled
the dice quite a few
times
and have come up
snake eyes nearly every
time.
even with new dice
in your hands,
blowing on them, whispering,
sweet nothings
against their cold
six sides,
you never seem to win.
