Is it true, darling?
When you look at me can you no longer see past the shards?
Does my gaze no longer warm your day? Do my feelings hinder you so?
It's true, in my heart of hearts, everything has turned to gray.
It's true, I lost sight of what mattered the most
I'm beginning to believe the damage is irreversible
Tell me!
Tell me it isn't so!
A dangerous game of chess
The sweat is beating down my forehead
I glance at the timer
I glance back at the board.
If I move my knight twice to the right..
It seems you've already thought this through.
The end of this game was predetermined wasn't it?
Was it ever possible that I could win?
I guess that's what I get for gambling with the devil for a prize too good to be true
Yes indeed, my eyes bigger than my stomach and my heart throbbing faster when she walks behind me
Spaghetti noodles spill out of my ears.
Are you not entertained?
I laugh and joke about the sauce dripping down my face
As if it isn't the blood that keeps my heart beating and I'm not
Loosing
All
Of
It
Is it still beating?
Only for you.
It has no other reason.
A promise is a promise and your key is the way to my will.
Wait I think
I messed that up, too.
Can you hear me?
Am I still getting through?
I don't even know how to play chess.
And I was never a big fan of spaghetti with bl
Are you still here?
Do your curiosities always get the best of you like this?
Haven't you better things to do?
I know I do
I hear a song.
On top of spaghetti, all covered with [why?]
I lost my poor [helpless bastard]
When somebody [STOLE MY SENSE OF HUMOR]
You remember the melody?
It sounds like chainsaws on bones.
Only mine could sound so hollow.
Do the drawings on my wrist entice you?
;
I'm an artist, after all
And you only care when the sharpie marks begin to fade again
Scribble over my art with your own thoughts and stick figures.
At least there's something there.
I miss you, darling
I turn around, determined to finish my board game.
I'm better than they said I was.
Knight to A3.
Bishop takes a sharp turn. F7 pawn stolen.
Yes
Yes this is making sense
CHECKMATE.
I check the time left on the clock, only to realize there are no hands on this clock.
And all the pieces on my board are black.
