Stalemate
On a board of marble, entwined in silk sheets and betrayal our game began.
The pieces moved - brutal and strategic until there was nothing left but a wreckage of blood and tears.
The boy who couldn't let go. The man who wouldn't let him.
The girl who couldn't see and the woman who didn't know.
No one wins.
There are no moves left to make.
There is only pain.
