~*~ Checkmate ~*~

Move the rook to the left,
There's so much to say.
Let's talk about the way you felt,
As I get that pawn out of the way.
A smiling lie,
That pushes past the queen.
A nod and a laugh,
Gentle eyes that are much too keen.
I nod as I work out the gears,
They grind as I slide my bishop across the marble.
A foe in a friend,
Your knight understands my fears.
I grin and laugh.
I knew the way you thought of me,
As you stared down at me.
Your eyes were so dark,
Check.
Let me understand,
That you were never a true friend.
Tell me,
How I was an idiot,
As I jump to safety.
A silly little girl,
Is that what you see in me?
Kind of like a pawn,
Small, seemingly unneeded,
But deadly if unchecked.
This friendly get together,
This smiling dinner date,
Was nothing more then another chance for you to look down on me again.
But guess what this pawn has to say?

Checkmate.

~*~ This is not the ending, dearest friend Mercury.. but rather the
beginning. In the game of Chess, strategy is everything. You may be able
to beat me in the game, but in life, the pawn seems to have the last
move on the King. I have always loved you, my friend, and always will.
Let us start anew as we spoke and agreed upon deep in the boughs of the
trees of my home. ~*~
