Card Game

Card Game

A Poem by Allison Dunn

2,4,6,8
Jacks, Queens, Kings
It's a game of luck
But I always seem to lose
No matter who the person
I can never win

You look up and see a gaze
Until it's drawn back to the game
Catch one catch twice, don't blink
You'll miss it at all
Never knowing it happened

Glance for a smirk
Knowing he wins
Only to draw this out
Misleading
Dragging you through this card game

You know you should end it
Torture
But you can't help but play along

This card game, a game of luck
2,4,6,8
Jacks, Queens, Kings
It's a game of luck
But I always seem to lose,
No matter the person
I can never win

This card game
A terrible feat
He gives a smirk
Knowing he wins
But holds the game out
To see my struggle
Of losing this fight

2,4,6,8
Jacks, Queens, Kings
It's a game of defeat
And I always seem to lose
No matter the person
Never winning this

This card game
Oh this card game

Seeing the gaze
Burning your eyes
Waiting for defeat
Smirking the win

This card game
Oh this card game
It's a game of luck
Yet I never win

The times I've lost
Too many to count
Oh I've lost again

Save me
Help me
I'm drowning in losses
No wins have I survived
Why do I keep trying
This card game
Oh this card game

2,4,6,8
Jacks, Queens, Kings
This game of defeat
Always losing the game
Doesn't matter the person
Cannot win this game
Ever

A gaze a smirk
No matter the difference
The card game is over
Please lay the cards down
Finish the game
End the torture
Of this card game

The card game
The game of cards
Never hurt me worse
Than this right now
The gaze causes my pain
Now win, I'll cheer
Just end this card game

2,4,6,8
Jacks, Queens, Kings
The game of defeat
Always seeming to lose
Never matters any person
Not winning this game
Called the card game
