Checkmate

Social isolation
That is what I must do
Because of this terrible fear
That I have of you

My life went from wanting to see you everyday
To no longer wanting to see you at all
Dreams and hopes lie motionless on the floor
I can only watch as Summer turns to Winter and Winter to Fall

Still no sign of a happy end
Still no chance of a dream coming true
Still no butterflies in my empty stomach
Still no "I love you too."

Destiny embraces my soul
I feel the heat on my face from the fires of hell
Am I really still breathing?
I guess I couldn't tell

Love is just a game
That is ruined when a game of two turns to a game of three
I fell but I landed on my heart
Instead falling to my knee

I wonder if you'll miss me
But if you do it'll already be too late
It's strange how even when I'm winning
You're still the one screaming "Checkmate!"
