#card sharp

You didn’t break me loudly You smiled while you did it kissed my forehead with a mouth that had already learned another name

I trusted you way night trusts the dark thinking it was the same thing I didn’t know shadows could lie or that love could split itself so cleanly

Every “I love you” you gave me had fingerprints I didn’t recognize I replay our memories now and find gaps hours that smell like betrayal laughter that doesn’t belong to me

You made a fool out of my faith Turned my loyalty into something pathetic something people pity I wonder how long I was alone while standing right beside you

The worst part isn’t that you touched them it’s that you came back to me afterward let me rest my head on your chest while your heart was still somewhere else beating for a lie

Now I question everything mirrors, promises, my own judgment You didn’t just choose someone else You taught me how easily truth can be replaced by convenience

I carry this pain quietly but it has teeth It chews through my sleep my trust the softer parts of me I gave without fear

{ The jungle’s floor was teaming with life and vice. Gamblers of all stripes were throwing away their hard earned cash, into uncertainty. Gamblers swarmed the tables, trying their luck. The tables were hot, while gamblers said their prayers, wishing for divine intervention from Lady Luck herself. The sounds of laughter drowned out the sadness of defeats, had by unlucky patrons. Liquor flowed freely, while cigar smoke filled the already foul air.  }

{ The Jungle Casino was busy tonight, racking in caps from suckers. Ares however, had no interest with gambling, he was working tonight. Not for the casino, but for The NCR. Recently, someone was sabotaging their operations. They suspected the worse, Legion Frumentarii being the number one suspect. Redwood however, considered an alternative to their guesses. A freelancer, someone who’s reasonable smart, could be the culprit. Already, Ares had spent hours on hours, trying to find the answer. }

{ That is why Redwood was here tonight, he suspected they were in the crowd. The criminal involved with the espionage, was somewhere out there, on The Jungle’s floor.  }
