Laughing in My Face

Akkiko

You hold the cards.

You wave them at me.

"Full house and a royal flush,

I have won again!"

I laughed and played along to it.

Your sick game,

How you delighted in playing it.

How you delighted in my pain.

"Put it behind us."

Oh how easy that sounds!

Put the pain behind.

Feel no more hurt.

I struggled to stand.

I tried to fight.

I thought I had.

But you now laugh in my face.
