You’re shuffling in the shadows again dealing memories from my pillows Jack of Hearts beat me with clubs treat me with diamonds shelter under the bridge when I show my need who is on top now am I enough yet or are you slinking off to find another queen for a day because I’m too much I never fit your hand no matter how tight you held me or hid me coyly behind the others You’re shuffling in the shadows again I can read your tells now keep your secrets between the jokers and the tricks turning the tables burning the fables there’s no darkness in the flames your image stains the inside of my eyelids tears ignite the flames fears excite the games playing softly in my sheets while you shuffle in the shadows again
Ooh I just love the conceit if not the heartbreak... makes me want to go dig my poker poems from the rubble (as if they'd do this gem justice) 💙💙
I bet they’re great; please share some!
Yes! Freedom! Beautiful, Boo!
Thank you!!!
