::: Solitaire :::

[gnutmeg]

red and black

covering my heart
I spend too much time on solitaire

you hate it, I know you do
but it's no deterrent
it won't break my fingers
to keep playing

maybe my king is
beneath that
five

cards pass me by
what's another diamond in my hand?
it won't break my fingers
to keep losing

red and black

another ace
it's not over yet
I might still win this game

I'll try

the queen keeps hiding
I fear at times she will never appear
it won't break my fingers
to keep wanting

the deck unravels
all my suits
feel heavy on my eyelids

red and black
