gambler's lament (from rig-veda)
she never fought with me or seemed displeased, she was gracious with me and my mates. i, on the other hand pushed her away. my other half. her family speaks ill of me and she regrets all her efforts, i now was on my own with my misery and life blurred. i had no intention to break her heart but they say, "that gambler's absence is our good luck". when i promise that never will I gamble again, my friends leave me with discontent. but the sound of dice and a better life, chases me back like a lover should. my friends were expecting me.
