I sighed dragging another bundle up to the roof I was working on, as I set the bundle down I noticed a very familiar girl. Of course she was familiar, she was my Renee. I was going to say 'Hi' but I noticed the guy who stole her from me. I sighed and got back to work.
"My friends think I'm crazy that I'm working too hard
But they don't see those memories that haunt me in the dark
Since you went and left me since you broke my heart
Baby I ain't playing with a full deck of cards"
No one knew about Renee, not even my brothers, we had dated in high school, she was my first true love. But when Paul came along she left me like nothing we had mattered, Paul used to be my best friend. He was the only one who knew how special Renee was to me. I trusted him and he stabbed me in the back. They both did.
"The lights are all on but there's nobody home
The heartaches are here but the love is all gone
I'm out of my mind and I'm no longer in charge
I'm no longer playing with a full deck of cards"
I turned and got back to work, trying to take my mind off Renee. I wanted to be with her again but I knew that wasn't gonna happen. I worked harder everyday to get my mind off of her, that's why I'm always trying to carry more than one bundle of roofing at a time. The guys keep telling me to stop working so hard. If only they knew why I worked so damn hard, I thought.
"I should have seen it coming but it caught me off guard
That joker came and ran off with my queen of hearts
I'm playing solitaire now and the cards are all marked
Tonight I ain't playing with a full deck of cards "
The work bell rang, ending my shift. I wasn't looking forward to the drive home. It gave me too much time to think. When I came home from work that night the gang was all hanging around the house again, not one bothered to ask how my day was, they were too busy playing poker. I guess I shouldn't get upset, I never ask how their day went either.
"The lights are all on but there's nobody home
The heartaches are here but the love is all gone
You're out of my life but you're still in my heart
Tonight I ain't playing with a full deck of cards "
I went straight to the kitchen and started dinner. "Does he ever take a break?" I heard Steve ask. "Nope," Soda said. Someone turned up the radio a bit louder but I could still hear someone shuffling a deck of cards. I sighed, Soda was right, I never took a break, I needed to but every time I tried my thoughts always went back to Renee.
"The lights are all on but there's nobody home
The heartaches are here but the love is all gone
You're out of my life but you're still in my heart
Baby I ain't playing with a full deck of cards"
I set the table and called everyone in to eat, I smiled softly at how happy they all were, I turned and walked back to my room only to find a picture of Renee and me shortly before Paul came along. My eyes lingered on the picture of me holding her close as my memory drifted to the memory of how she felt in my arms. It broke my heart all over again. I picked up the picture and dropped it in the wastebasket next to my bed. 'I'm going to start over,' I silently promised myself.
"Tonight I ain't playing with a full deck of cards "
Ok that's it, what did ya think? I know how sad poor Darry but I'm trying to find a happy one for him too so don't worry =)
