Aces

Anonymous's picture

Every time I think you've played
your last card,
you pull out an ace.

Sometimes I think you do it
just to see my reaction,
but then it makes us appear
so childish.

Your sleeves must have
secret pockets,
but I've worn your clothes,
and even your jackets are
empty.

There shouldn't be this many
aces
in a deck.

Wow,

I really like this a lot. It makes you think if they are actually aces or if it's just a metaphor.
