House of Cards

House of cards, no agent can sell Sulfuric regret all I smell Laid flat with quiet violence By one soft breath of pure silence Building it shouldn't be so hard The joke's on me with no discard Loyalty my own worst penance By one soft breath of pure silence Was told triangles built strong things But the most coveted are those rings Stand them back up in defiance By one soft breath of pure silence Vows it seems, forgotten notion My breath not soft, nor pure silence

Thank you very much! I've been hearing and dealing with a lot of friends going through separation and divorce lately. This was my attempt to shed light on the trivolity that seems to be plaguing marriage. It's not a new plague but unfortunate but it's one that seems no one is looking for a cure for. Reverently A.S.
