Red Hearts and a Black Jack
Do you remember me?
 
 I am the thing that you call happiness
 
 You don’t realize who I am, don’t disagree
 
 This struggle is endless.
 
 
  
 
 Cries escape your sweet voice as I take my farewell
 
 Why should I stay do tell?
 
 You cause me nothing but grief 
 
 Let me leave, it’ll be a relief.
 
 
  
 
 I wiped your eyes
 
 I cried your tears
 
 Then I’m the one that dies?
 
 Pain, despair, anguish from all those years.
 
 
  
 
 Ice runs down my veins
 
 As I stand face to face
 
 The only one that remains
 
 I pull out a card, the red of Hearts, Ace
 
 
  
 
 Realize your mistake
 
 In this game, let’s all partake
 
 
  
 
 You and me, come on 
 
 Let me deal and you just see
 
 Into my illusion you are drawn
 
 Oh pity me…
 
 Just let me be…
 
 I wish I had my dear Anne-Marie…
 
 
  
 
 I pick up this deck
 
 I have you where I want you, I have you in check
 
 Now pick up your hand and see what you got
 
 Don’t tell me you already forgot?
 
 
  
 
 This is my game, my luck, my cards, my world, my revenge
 
 Of course you didn’t think I’d avenge…
 
 
  
 
 Don’t look my way
 
 Just lay down hard
 
 My colors are not just your normal gray 
 
 Destiny can change with one fatal card
 
 
  
 
 You Ready?
 
 Keep your hands steady
 
 Now it’s the end….regret will be your bride
 
 Long ago my soul had died
 
 
  
 
 Forever gone
 
 Forever lost
 
 Forever tortured
 
 Forever unloved
 
 
  
 
 Welcome to the nightmare
 
 This is my cross to bear
 
 Bring me my life again
 
 To my father, the son, and the holy spirit, amen
 
 
  
 
 Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades
 
 This emptiness cuts deep like razor blades
 
 
  
 
 My name is Jack
 
 You know me....I’m the loneliness of black
 
 Spades is my house
 
 Let the lights douse
 
 
  
 
 I’m done with you
 
 I’m sick and tired of all this fighting
 
 This is nothing new
 
 Just let me live in my writing
 
 
  
 
 “An Ace and a Jack…..21 is my magic number”
