Loves not a game !

Bitterness in my coffee cup
Sip it slow but it’s never enough
Your name’s a shadow in the morning light
Fades
But it never feels quite right

You play
I fold
The deck runs cold
But I’m not breaking

Bitterness
Bittersweet
Your love’s a game I can’t defeat
Deadly hands
Your joker’s grin
I won’t play
But you still win

Board’s reset
But the scars remain
Love’s a gamble
We lost the game
Your laugh echoes in the empty hall
I tear it down
Brick by brick
Wall by wall

Already Gone
