Poker Game

I played a game of poker,

Thinking I held all the cards.

I thought I truely had her,

Neverminding the visible scars.


I played being sure of a victory,

Never realizing I would hit a wall.

Now all is lost, all history.

I now sit in tears, but I once walked tall.


I played a game of poker,

Never realizing the game would play me.

Now I long to hold her,

Yet mine she will never again be.
