Winning Hand

I’m the fool of hearts  

In the hand you hold  

Face down in the fold  

I’ll do anything to win your hand  

Anything to capture your heart

Like a delicate chess piece  

If this is a game  

Then I’m not playing  

If this is not real then I’m not staying  

Fold the table and the chairs  

I’m one there are no pairs  

Like the joker I’m the fool  

With no spares  

In the deck  

Shuffled and dealt  

The one you play all the time  

The one you cast aside  

The one you see no value in  

The one whom you feel  

Cannot win in your hand  

To blind to see  

The hand you hold  

Is not complete without me  

I’m a trump but all you see  

Is a fool
