Silver Lining

A wheel I can't spin and a fight I can't win--
I can't even close a bad deal.
It's dumped in my lap and the victor's sharp clap
Is closer than I care to reveal.
Classical looks, don't know what it took,
But I've got the devil to pay.
If I'd avoid circumstance, not depend so on chance,
Things might have worked today.
What good does it do me if you should see through me--
Resigned to one corner or waste.
Subtlety's lost and my gain is my cost,
And I think my sunshine was laced.
Spin on your heel if you doubt what you feel;
The past has taught me to be still.
If you can deny it, I guess I won't try it;
There's plenty of others who will.
What silver lining? The bright side's reclining
Before I am able to crawl.
No sunny-side-upper, I've eaten no supper,
And losers must wait in the hall.
You extend those lines, I pursue every time,
Then you jerk them away with a smile.
I always get burned as the temperature's turned,
And I haven't been cool for a while.
