That's right, five card stud
Your life on the line,
And you're dealt a two...

Funny, for a moment
52 cards in the deck
Yet three decks for the three years...

All there is to show
For the last week's pain
Is one card...one week, one card...

Mom can't help your hand
She chooses not to deal
"I never thought your Ace was of the same suit".

All the while, I stay steadfast
Hoping I can bluff, and win
Knowing I have but a single pair.

If your face tells all
And belief owns your smiles
Your "two of a kind" can win the game.

Years into this poker game of love
I've never frowned on the lowest cards
These two's are Ace's

And I just re-defined the rules.

Two games of chance -- love and cards. (love as cards?) Cool poem.
