A Simple Game of Chess

A reunion of the souls,

A reunion of the hearts,

A reunion full of hate.

We'll enjoy this time until we part.

The science of love torments me,

While the potion of hate fills my brain.

My heart is drying out,

I can't take this pain.

Love is nothing,

Only under-developed emotions.

I learned this long ago,

No one gets a fair portion.

A viper named jealousy invades.

Blond hair is ripped from the skull.

The body's left out in the night.

Life is so dull.

Happiness eludes all of us,

But we keep searching.

My stomach aches,

And the bird is perching.

It tells me what I'm doing wrong.

I shouldn't be overcome by guilt,

But I can't help it.

So I keep sewing the quilt.

I can't turn back now,

The path drags me on.

I have to avoid the viper,

I know it's only a pawn.
In this game of chess,

There's only one king.

The two queens fight over him.

Their hearts dangle from a string.

He has all the power,

He has all the control,

He can break their hearts,

Or continue the patrol.

This isn't fair.

It just isn't right.

I cheer for both queens,

They shouldn't give up the fight.

If they both love him,

They should keep trying.

The king wins no matter what.

I can picture him dying.

Why does he get to be happy?

What about the loser queen?

What happens to her?

She's out of this dream.

No one cares about the loser,

The winner gets all the attention.

They fuss over the white queen,

While it's the black one who needs protection.

But she'll get over the king,

Everything happens for a reason.

She'll find something better,

Probably by next season.

Please tell me what you think
