Chess

You should know though
That love to me
Is like a game of chess
Where the knights
Hide behind the pawns
And have no princess to save.

Forgive my simplicity.

But do you know that
In chess
The pawns, the least powerful
In the kingdom
Are the bravest ones who
Choose to willfully die
For a queen who they're madly
In love with?
(They're not dying for the king)

I am a pawn, love, I am a pawn.
When does the war begin?
