End Game

chess term

Such a catch -22,

you’ll come all this way

to clean up, detox, rejuvenate

you’ll take my money and travel

but only, if

I promise one

thing

I can’t give you

 

What could you think

How can you

think?

 

I don’t want a dirty needle in my arm,

an auto immune deficiency

or the s**t that you’ve been dragging around

you

to come here

 and drag me

down

with you

 

I offered you peace

I offered you quiet

I offered you love and acceptance

and all you want

is a f**k

 

What else is new?

and really, who is the fool now?

 

Turn the tarot upside down

and it reads all the same, past, present

and best way to hit the situation

so, we end up at the end game

situation again

and there you are

here i am

and neither is giving…in

Seems if you find any peace for yourself, some a*****e will show up and try to take it away. And you know you can't let that happen. Peace is too hard to come by. It takes work to get there. Great write and I could totally relate.

If you're going to lose the end game, better if it comes early; you know, mate in less than ten...(Next time stick with the Queen's Pawn Gambit, it's your strongest opening.)

...and the wheeels on the bus go round and round..

This is a great piece.. It is so relatable in many areas of our lives. You have such a clean way of writing..very good, Lola!!!
