House of Cards

See the King without a crown

As the walls come crashing down

Closely now his heart he guards

In this lonely house of cards

The Queen knew just how he felt

Broken from the cards she dealt

In a bad hand of poker

She ran off with the Joker

Now his thoughts are running deep

All alone in Castle's Keep

Licking wounds that would fester

Just another Court Jester
