I don't like cards
I like feelings.
but feelings get confused with hearts.
and i don't like hearts.
although i played frequently enough
trying to catch your eye
but after all was said and done
hook line and sinker.
I realized i never knew the rules
i only played with my hands, watched the sixes and sevens
dance for you.
walk for you.
backstage, and puddlejump
for your sad little eyes.
you reminded me too much of a candle
that didn't know how to burn.
I only liked that you thought i could light you.
but now here i am, lesson learned.
