Chess

Enter the stadium

You're standing there

In the middle

Thinking

This is all a game

A game of chess, perhaps

But you know

It's MORE than that

A battle

Between

Life

And

Death

And the only thing that separates

Both worlds

Is the swing of a blade

The touch of an axe

The games.

You meet him there

The bakers boy

And you were never meant to be together

Oh, how cliche

Because you save him

Anyway

And right there

In that deadly stadium

You scream

Because

If this is only

A game of chess

Then there is only one questions

Are you

The player?

Or

The piece?
