In an unbroken silence
Stalled in time
Caught in your own net
With your heart struck
And stolen
Keeping the same tune
Just air
And wind
A sobbing breath
Sky blown
Through forgotten reeds
Choking on the truth of it
Play the game
Chess is of the mind
And you're all heart
What now that it's gone
Chess is of the mind
And you were never
Good at it
