A Queen defeated with one sweep
I cannot look not even peep,
a heartless move bereft of care
my love betrayed, an empty square.
Kings push and shove as they know how
defeated pawns grovel and bow,
so eaten up with greed and spite
our candle burns into the night.
I walk away you follow close
the moment dark my face morose,
then suddenly a smile unplanned
you press your King into my hand.

Congratulations on your trophy!!
