Cards

Darts

That's all I know

But you,

You played with cards.

I like darts cause it's straightforward, just like me, simple.

You liked cards cause they were like you, complicated and manipulative.

You coaxed me to play cards even if I wanted to refuse, you convinced me, everything about you seems to just pull me in.

So I played cards, with you.

I was a beginner at the game, while you were a master.

I didn't know the simple me who played darts will be played by the master like you who played the cards.

You showed mercy at first,

Alas, you discarded me in the end, like the cards, you played me.

Like the cards, you became my king and I'm merely a joker.
