The Joker

the card sharp called love split the pack
"place your bets and don't look back"
i put my life on hearts
for thats what lovers do
i was dealt an ace
with a queens face
i was king for a day
but little did i know
jack would trump
and take sweet kitty away
no more chips
just one hand to wave bye bye
my game is up
now
I'm left the joker.
