Like a deck of fifty two
dealt haphazardly across
a felt table, you anted
your chips and caused
me to fold under your
skilled hand, shuffling
the Queen of Hearts
against the King of Spades
you fooled me into
believing I had the upper hand
when all I had was the Joker.

You told me you’re not doing well
You’re tired and confused
Your body keeps on fighting you
But I won’t let you lose
I’ll fight the battle with you
I’ll never let you down
You’ll always be the queen to me
You’ll always wear the crown
You mean the world to me
The sisterhood will never perish
No one can ever break the pact
It’s your friendship I’ll always cherish

A lost love, a broken heart
You walked away, I fell apart
Our time together, went quickly by
Not even a chance, for one more try
I clutch your picture to my chest, I cannot look away
I don’t remember what I did, to make you go that day
You had your moments, I had mine too
You blamed me, I blamed you
I guess it’s best, to say goodbye
There is no point, in living a lie
A lesson profound, one I cannot forsake
I live and learn, from my own mistake

We talked for hours
The time flew by, without
a single thought of
anyone else
Just the two of us, sharing
laughing, listening
dreaming, of a better
world, a better tomorrow
For us
Then you’re gone
Not a moment’s notice, not
a word nor a wave
leaving me confused
Why did you stop by,
why did you stay so long
only to disappear
From my view
And I ponder the moment
we met
The happiness, the joy
the sorrow, the tears
And I can’t help
but wonder
why you left
without goodbye.

Why does it seem
Just yesterday
I held your hand
I watched you play
The time’s flown by
You’ve grown too fast
Please slow it down
Please make it last
As you get older
I do, too
Let’s back it up
Let’s start anew
I guess it’s time
To let you go
To find yourself
To let you sow
And show the world
Your shining star
A fine young man
Who will go far
And I will smile
With tears of joy
And proudly state
Yes! He’s my boy!
