Win in Secret

12 3 6
                                    

That game we had
you played so well
and though you won
you lost somehow

For the lucky dice
you rolled high
until the cards
were dealt
to you and I

And pieces moved
on a board you laid
You took all my pawns
and my knights away

But I saw the ace
up your sleeve
and the poker face
you showed me

Though you took me
for a fool
I still got
the best of you

My goal was never
to beat you at your game
but to win in secret
just by having you play
