The Game was Bullshit

Her tears are already drying upon my shirt,
transparent stains that can only be remembered,
red might be a more appropriate hue,
representing the real pain I've dealt more casually than a hand of
cards,

I leave you, the so-called queen of hearts,
to find your king of diamonds,
for I am just the joker you met last night,
no need to make amends, the game was in your head,

I play my own game,
a different one than yours,
without regret I don't follow suit,
bullshit is that which you play,

It's not a game,
but you are left out.
