Playing Spades

spades

spades and

spades and diamonds

hearts

hearts and

hearts and clubs

I play the cards over the love,

I play the cards over the love, her heart flies away like a dove

because this is a game

because this is a game a game I play.

a game she believes in everyday,

something I lie

something I lie about, and you will want to die when you find out.

broken hearts

in the dark

love is cold

it seems so old

and aged

because I was

playing spades.
