Splitting the Deck
December 11, 2011
A picture of me
A card with a tear
The bitter Queen of Spades
In a game of Solitaire
Trying to forget
Through mindless dealing
You're Always on my mind
Though slowly healing
You hold up your blade
And sit up real tall
You think you can fool me
You're king after all
The aces, they watch
But really don't know
I'm truly not angry
Just struck by sorrow
And here we are broken
With no need to ammend
Just remember the King of hearts,
He dies in the end
