Checkmate!

I’ve pride in the work
I’ve done and will do…
But who are you?
Too take that away, from me.

Your knights might…
Encroach upon the field of play.
But my king rules over me
And darling you!
You’ll see… You’ll see…
You’ll see…

With a shield of ice
Win or lose…
It’s all the same to me.
A game of dice!

“Loaded for the best chance
A checkerboard
Wherever I move he too does advance
A plaintive lover
Like a moth to the dance”.
Fearless in victory…
For me and you!

So make your move
My heart is already
In checkmate!
When you call my name
When I’m with you…
When I’m with you…
When I’m with you…
Being sedentary is as dangerous
As it’s being lonely…
With you for you!
For you! For you!
