Watch your step, sweetheart,
lest the whole tangled deck come crashing down.
These are not ordinary cards,
these are lead,
these are steel,
these are gold-plated darkness
and they will crush your fragile soul.
Fail, even for one second, to guard those hearts
and they will **** without hesitation.
There is no floor plan, no secret salvation.
This is a shoddy house,
built on a foundation of failures,
held together by good intentions,
fenced in by hope.
