Just a Game

Our souls chequered like a chessboard.
All the light and dark shades,
We’ve had to fight our way through.
There was no black and white,
It was acres of grey between me and you.
I took the Queen in you.
You killed the King in me.
So many pieces, sacrificed along the way.
Our love - was just a game.

The one we never knew how to play.
