each one placed spells
sweet disaster
keep on building, higher it goes
now standing up on my tiptoes
will this be the one to cause collapse?
the pyramid just a maze of traps
the wind blows hard
it stays in place
feel the cool breeze on my face
the house of cards still holding strong
lyrics pause in your sweet song
one on one still on I race
the final card now finds its space
queen of hearts makes it fall down
it all trembles, falls to the ground
fantasies always break apart
no hints from the jagged start
a house of cards is always weak
be careful of the ones you seek
every moment, every single hour
I spent building this high, wide tower
deconstructed for evermore
scattered all about the floor
somethings you just can't sustain
no matter the love or its disdain

Beautiful and very true. Wonderful symbolism with the cards and what a powerful meaning behind them.
So clever!
Sombering and very true
