Having affection is like playing poker
There is a winner and there is a loser.
However, keep your guard up and show no emotion
If you want to have your dignity and pride still in motion.

The cards are set, given, and closed.
The participants are ready and look very composed.
The dealer smiles thus the game begins!
Who will be the victor in this game of sin?

You have readied your case
Together with the conviction that I'll take
Now that the bets are in place
Let's try and win the race.

The first card reveals
10 of Hearts it conceals
The highest number of card
Will you give the reward?

The second card now shows.
9 of Hearts is in the row.
Switch it up and it's six.
For every problem, you fix.

With three revealed, another appears
The Jack of Hearts, it does shows in the rear.
Jack of all trades but do you master them?
I really do not know, but in the future, I bet you can.

Two more to go, with emotions in toll
A King of Hearts in the deck suddenly got called
It's almost there, it's almost near.
However, the future that I see is something I fear.

The final card got flipped
With my thoughts dipped
I hid all the cards that I have
To reveal is to lose
To hide is to sham
All of the thoughts I have stored...

Thus, the flush is complete
All the chances I'll take
All the bets I'll deplete
Shall I reveal which is which
Or hide all I feel
Win or lose, the house always win.
Testing my skills again ****
