After I died
     it was easier to focus
          and pretend I was
     sober

But I was having trouble
     Remembering
         to breathe
Then you passed your magic

     Over me

Aces and Eights
     made me gasp

I survived
     Loss

Gained my new life

And another chance

The dice were tossed
     to make us a new pair

     Aces

          Together
