When The Dealing’s Done

I’m Out

Round and around

On this emotional ride

To find what I found

and then hold it inside

The secrets to change

This unimaginable heart

More than rearrange

But, go back to the start

Before the game ended

And I forfeited my cards

When I first befriended

The one who shattered my heart

Before I could understand

How brokenness felt

From the one and only man

Dealt me the cards that he dealt

But choices were made

And I stand by them now

In between, love and hate

And un-taking that vow

Though the lessons were hard

They were learned anyhow

I’ve returned my self pity, and the last of my cards

heartbreak
