Suzanne Hopkins Poet I do not know?

Different Suits

I was sitting at the table,
cards revealed one by one.
The dealer full of evil sin,
Me, all I wanted was some
Fun. 
I had waited  for my play. 
I held all five royal spades.
The  loser I soon became, 
as I put an end to the dealers game.
The king proclaimed hooray. 
He was gonna carry on his same way.
The queen was lost in a world of chaos. The jokers had gone astray.  
Caught in a game of different suits. 
Lost in the lies of many untruths. 
The cards were laid. 
My cards had been played. 
The aces concluded my fate.
I  held my prize and walked to the door.
Shattered egos  trickling down to the floor. 
Ignoring the yells, avoiding the glares, I had pissed them all off, and I  didn't  even care. 
Too many times the hearts have lead. 
Sometimes they were better off dead. 
For a heart is blind and only follows its kind,
Taking control of ones with weak minds.
The king proclaimed hooray.  
He was gonna carry on his same way. 
The queen was lost in a world of chaos. 
The jokers had gone astray.  
Caught in the game of different  suits.
Lost in the lies of many untruths.
Only the diamonds will ever shine through,
showing their true faces to you.
