Pain has never taste so sweet

Pick a Card

Pick a Card

Play the Deck

Watch her wry smile

As you stare back

Welcome to the game of lies

Take my hand

And we'll both learn how to play

We take two cards

Stare at each other

Eyes filled with lies

Our love's grand demise

She sees our death

Up on the stage

You walk up the steps to join her

I glare at you

Hating every centimeter of your skin

My heart writhes in acid

I place down a card

You should know better than to lose your guard

The smirk comes up her face

Her who is I

and I who is her

But then there's person number 3

or rather, person number one?

We play a game of cards

when there's nothing left to say

the lies have been laid down

With a curtsy I say

Adeiu

And place my hands on an all new deck of cards

A true smile my face records

One like never before

No need to hide behind the cards

I look back at the old game

Oh how very glad am I

that I no longer have to play

Run Away

I'll run.

Run Run Run Away.

With a click of my heel

I'm move as quick as I can,

One first step

Then another

Quicker

Faster

Quicker

Faster

Pick a pace

and

run.

To a place

a place far from here

a place far yet near?

Just give me a chance

to breathe some air

that very air

you place so very out of reach

You'll open doors

yet lock me in.

And what will occur

when those very doors

are passed through by me

I'll look back

and say

Goodbye.
