house of cards

we never were steady
maybe, not even ready
cause we collapsed,
shattered and withered apart
just like a house of cards.

a house made of cards
the both of us inside
playing the gamble of hearts
with our spades of ego kept aside

downtown, in the clubs of hades
second by second the tension fades
as we adorn the convenient reality
off the diamonds coated by infidelity

thus everything fails
to fall in place
as we weren’t the master of that black ace
to reveal ourselves to the world’s pace.
