To love you

Lay a card

Lay a Card

Lorie Jen Rojo

I.

You played my heart,

and it was a poker game.

When you're the jack of all trades,

and the joker of the whole thing.

II.

I'm the queen of hearts,

mirroring itself,

seeing it's reflection,

underneath it's waist.

III.

My world was not square

nor fair,

you tore me apart.

I don't know it's a game .

IV.

The world was round 

and there are 52 cards.

including 4 lonely kings,

and 4 lonely Queens.

V.

The three had found their pair

But where's mine?

The joker played it all around

Discarding My king of hearts.
