The Despondent Minds

Chess Champions (part 2)

For me

She sat by his side
And learned all of his moves
In her he would confide
How to never lose

And for some time
They battled other players
They became a pair
Of little chess slayers

But then the girl grew better
And walked across the board.
She became the enemy;
She became the chess lord.

And our chess champion,
Knew not what to do.
He had taught her everything;
He wondered if she could lose.

"Silly boy," She mused,
Laughter in her eyes,
"I was just a pawn,
But now I am your demise."

"You think you can play?
Watch me yawn through this game.
I have stayed by your side,
Cause defeating you was my aim."

"I thank you for saving me,
For teaching me how to play.
But I think I'll enjoy this.
A chess champion I'll slay."

And so our chess champion was beat,
And another took his throne.
Perhaps he should've left,
That lowly pawn alone.
