A Name Short For RIchard

Hearts are not gameboards,
where one rolls dice
out of curiosity, or boredom.
When you try for deep,
you're asking for it all,
so let's not claim
you had no idea.
I just don't believe
you didn't know what you were doing,
that would suggest that you and your heart
are barely on speaking terms,
cold strangers who nod poltely,
but really don't converse.
So the possibilities are two:
You knew exactly what you were doing,
which makes you a lot more
than a bit of a bastard,
or you really DIDN'T know
which makes you a gifted sort of stupid.
I just would like to know which.
Take your time.
I have forever without you
for you to figure out
how you earned the name
short for Richard,
you DICK.
