Lucky Numbers

5/25 is the day of my birth 
25 divided by 5 is 5 
My dad used to say 
How lucky this number was 
Always betting on it at the track 
The pressure I felt 
When he came home broke 
Was excruciating 
But then again 
He had a lot 
Of lucky numbers 
His dreams were big and 
His heart was bigger 
In the end he hurt 
Himself the most
A sacrifice 
For the ones 
He couldn’t stop loving
I can still hear the 
Song in his voice 
Smell his stale 
Beer and cigarettes 
And 7 years later 
I’m still left with a
Mouthful of regrets…
