Queen of Spades

You come along to disrupt my life, after many silent years
Plunge in with your manipulation and lies, playing on fears
What gives you the right, to turn my life upside-down?
While keeping truth from me, as always, wearing your crown
    --- Like a Queen of Spades in a card game of Hearts ---
         --- How far will you go, ripping lives apart? ---

I had no trouble comprehending your meaning, Heidi. A costly card if not played, as is one who the card portrays. Great write.

This lacks good clarification of the person in question. The rhyme is not bad, but the content can be improved. Thanks, Luis Estable
