Deck of Cards Between Us
I'm not in your game.
I'm not a guitar
With strings you can play
Don't tune me to the note
You feel like each day
I'm not a bed
That you can mess up and make
You don't get to sleep with me
Then leave me when you're awake
I'm not a novel
That only speaks what you love
You don't get to turn a page
When I'm not what you dream up
I'm not a step stool
For you to raise your self-esteem
Take you higher when you need it
Then step off and leave
I'm not a cool jacket
To warm you when your cold
Then stick in a closet
And wear again when you're bold
I'm not in your game
With a deck of cards between us
You don't get to decide
When to show your cards or bluff
I'm just a heart
One that cares deeply
One that wants to be there
Even when things aren't easy
I'm just a human
That constantly tries my best
One that respects boundaries
And is willing to work my hardest
Everyday you don't get to choose
How you want me in your life
Then just toss me aside
Till the moment is right
I'm not your guitar
Your bed or your game
I'm not your novel
Your stool or your rain
I'm not your cool jacket
I'm not what you need
If putting me aside
Can be this easy
