"A Card Game" (Patreon)

I close my eyes to see you

We sit down at the table

You ask why the tears

You deal out cards

I wipe my cheeks

In my world you’re gone

You laugh

A preposterous thought

But you are

I open my eyes and I’m in bed

Staring at the wall

Still wiping my cheeks

You fade from view

I can’t hear your laugh anymore

And I can’t get back to sleep to see you
