the game
it was built upon a house of cards
the joker was the key
looking at the crooked deck
the outcome was plain to see
when the dealer passed the hand
we held close to our chest
any fool that watched for long
knew it was all a test
it was all there in the cards
the fate of hearts like ours
it was over but the crying
and no one bothered with the flowers
while the crowd was watching on
enjoying the show
love bowed its head and left the room
when dealt its final blow
pieces of two broken hearts
lay scattered on the floor
they trickled down into the sea
and hit the opposite shore
... a house of cards
a misdealt hand
a twisted deal
... and so love ends.
