Slot Machine Romance

Slot Machine Romance One time a simple flower would have sold me The sanctuary of roses Filling my heart And the poems of a lover Would whisper my expectation And rescue my longings in his strong and protecting arms Once I would have been a damsel Courted in the beauty of angels I would have been his sweetest prize The only woman of his eyes I would have been the “all” for which he strived But now I am fettered by his entertainment His expensive suit And priceless mode of transport This luxury I sold for the price of love And money For my body And money For my heart And money I sold for the price of love And all my expectation came to nothing As all my disappointments became so demanding For no more than my own security My romance was with this slot machine And for the money I sold the price of my love For the money I sold my heart For the money I stole his life And sold the price of love
