I Can't Shake It

Tell me I'm handsome,
the best lover you ever had.
Tell me I'll live

and be happy.
The cat looks at me
like I'm a ghost.

In his eyes,
I'm dead
before I jump.

Tell me he's wrong.
He's black and white dice,
snake eyes.

Luck isn't in the throw,
but moments before,
in your hand and heart.
