*"Avant nous,
D'autres amants ont dit : "Je t'aime."
Comme nous...
Avant nous,
D'autres ont souffert, ont trahi même"*
Edith Piaf

You presented the evidence
Cards filled the table
Jack, King, Queen
You even threw
The Joker.
I laughed at your attempts
To pacify a self you so
Resolutely dismissed until
You realised I'd actually
Gone.
Profanities crossed
Across the desk separating us
And you owned your side
Dispersing blood on
Your hands.
I sat still with a snigger
A stare in my eye so wild
You feared my retort
A riposte shedding your
Ego.
My final offering
Twisting the knife
Plundered into my back
Before this poker game
Even began.
I remained silent
As you screeched
My own voodoo doll
With pleasure I watched your
Pain.
