How did I get involved in this?

Secrets and lies, corruption taking over

Making enemies, dodging death

Friends dying and people hurt

First just a pawn, then a rook

My opponent forgets to say "check"

Secret motives becoming clear

But it's all too late now

My search has led me into a trap

Enemies surrounding my king

Eyes blinded by tears and shock

As I hear very faintly

"Checkmate"
