Forgotten King

She sets the chess board up Moves her Queen Guards her King I move my weak pawns Sacrifice is what's needed In a strategy that works She holds nothing back Conquers all with her Queen Cares little about her pawns I lose my Knights and Bishops Even lose my Queen and Rook But at the other end do my pawns go She shouts Checkmate! Thinks she has won Doesn't realize that in the end, she's abandoned her King I look into her eyes and say, "Yes. Checkmate" Point to my weak little lawns which now are ghosts from the past On her end, the end which my pawns have reached Lie Knights and Rooks, Bishops and Queens All surrounding the King she forgot She sees her folly In war rage and glee of victory did she forget her duty With a heavy disappointed sigh, She knocks down her forgotten King
