I wrote this piece in early 2007 when my parents were beginning the divorce process. Divorce > Marriage in this case. It was a blessing.
Card Games
It's not real, it's fake.
In a dream so far away from wake.
From crying to lying,
from flying to falling all in matter of seconds.
Trying to be strong,
but way too long to stay strong for long.
Trying to picture every word said,
but every word led to a lie.
No way of bypassing,
no way of ignoring.
It's staring at you in your face,
laced with lies and doubts.
Reign and unhappiness,
but through it all one has to fall.
Only one,
sick and confused.
Dazed and drugged.
Three are free from all the lies,
deceit and doubts.
A triangle of three sides that don't have room for another side.
So let it fade,
fade,
fade into the dark.
From the dark to the light,
as bright as the sun.
Into fun and memories.
Flying first class into happiness.
You see...
Life is never ending.
You have to play your cards right.
Play 'em right;
Get a royal flush.
You're on your way to an all out,
on the way to the perfect life;
Aces, spades, the whole parade.
From hell to Heaven in just a few conflicts.
With love, hope, trust and honesty;
Even with rooms crumbling in,
you can pinpoint the problem.
Building the walls that were once broken,
into walls that are indestructible.
Kassi Meier 3/2007
