endgame
a game of chess
ALL it (really) is.
he's just another
P.A.W.N
on the chessboard,
being played
like a f.i.n.e-t.u.n.e.d
instrument
..
it's nearing the
endgame
..
and all he can TASTE
is blood, blood, blood
red, red, red
his (heartfeethead) pounding
boomboomboom
sound of a W*A*R*D/R/U/M
..
oh, she's the QUEEN
she's the ruler
of all the l:a:n:d
royalty, though,
is never fAiR

and then he's running, running, falling
he wakes up
..
she's going to R,U,L,E
sit on a T\H\R\O\N\E
the gods...

she has placed them
just right

together
we're doing this together
their eyes S\H/A\T/T\E/R
hope has escaped the jar
so carefully : L : e : A : v : I : n : G :
the hearth
then he closes his eyes / she closes hers
and hand in hand / they close the doors
..
ticktockticktock
clock's ticking, little godlings
the endgame is nearing
..
she smiles, a C|O|L|D
B,I,T,T,E,R
smile
the earth is winning
..
they're screaming
RUN-GO-PLEASE-I-LOVE-YOU
because
all the t.i.m.e.
in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD
is not enough
for the both of them
..
foolish children,
she murmurs
you think you can beat me?
