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”
