Crowned
Until now
I’d lost all hope
It took some time to realize
love is a cruel game
where knights and bishops
terrorize the pawns
You can’t be a rookie
on this checked board
or you become easy prey
War is inevitable
upon this battlefield
but a captured heart
does not mean defeat
I fought and I fought
picked up my sword
each time I fell
It took quite a few
scars and bruises
until l could be
crowned of victory
Love was cornered
by my hands
and I was the one
to declare:
"CHECKMATE!"
