Third time's a charm

I can feel it

not just because you're literally

here, sitting beside me

With every breath you take,

my heart beats along

my soul sings a song

With every flutter of your eyelids,

my eyes dart about

but never daring to blink

in case I miss the moment

your eyes open and meet mine

My heart gives chase

in this game of tag

I paste on a smile in haste

to hide the uncertainty that bubbles underneath

that boils under pressure and heat

"Love's a waste of time"

I chide myself

Your knight is captured

𝘐 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦

your queen taken

𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯

the king is overthrown

𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘐 𝘰𝘸𝘯.
