Checkmate

Monday
Flick the ash off your cigarette
See the embers fade
You can try to discard me
Baby I’m here to stay
Play your hand
I can read your face
Lost before you start
Up my sleeve, I have an ace
No words to say
Can’t scare me away
Just take your jab
I’ll smile and laugh
Surrender tastes bitter
Lying lips quiver
Now take your seat
As I stand and deliver

Thank you for contributing!
A very cool and clever poem that seems to be about commitment.
It was short and sweet, really enjoyed it's style! 🌲
