Jack Of Hearts Poem by Fired Heart

Don’t you understand you will never win this game?
It wasn’t designed to be won,
Only made to make you sign your soul away.
One day when you realise this, it’s probable that it will be too late.
I will be gone.
Maybe you will be completely lost;
I know I will be safe.

We’ve grown in two different worlds, containing opposite views.
But,
We’ve both learnt that in life we can’t always have what we chose.
We have shared many stolen moments but still I barely know you.
And yet for a while
I was convinced I had started to love you.

One day when I return you will have left here and gone
To another place where I will not know you,
Just like I never did all long.
And if we ever meet again after this
Our worlds will have changed more.
I will never forget how our eyes met from across the dance floor.

Then back to the different games we have grown accustomed to play.
We will tread our separate footsteps that lead two opposite ways.
But know this;
Since I have known you, my heart was only yours to take.
And one day it is inevitable,
You will let me go; it will be your heart to break.
