chess

The final second
has been played and all
the pieces now
have no purpose
but to look pretty and to
gather the dust of
the past.
Am I the winner
or the .
sore loser?
The king is
no longer in play.
The mind games
are over and all that
is
left is the memory of
the game.
Not the schemes
or the pieces
the were moved.
But the one
you play it with
will soon fade but
will never fully disappear.
It seems the only game love
is related to is
chess.
