I stacked you up so wonderfully. Hand poised, Fingers light. Made a beautiful home to call my own. Yet it all so quickly fell apart. A King and Aces lay dead at my feet, Slaughtered by my instability. Murdered by the very hand who built a home and promised love. Shuffle the deck, Count the endless possibilities. Ironic that hearts are my favorite suit, Yet I always pull spades. Compose and begin again. I keep building homes with cards, Then become shocked when it all falls apart.

House Of Cards
I stacked you up so wonderfully. Hand poised, Fingers light. Made a beautiful home to call my own. Yet it all so quickly fell apart. A King and Aces lay dead at my feet, Slaughtered by my instability. Murdered by the very hand who built a home and promised love. Shuffle the deck, Count the endless possibilities. Ironic that hearts are my favorite suit, Yet I always pull spades. Compose and begin again. I keep building homes with cards, Then become shocked when it all falls apart.
