Chess

Play me like a game of chess
Move your pieces carefully
Strategy is all-important
Stop, and then wait for me.
Make my move in perfect timing
Make you wait like you do me
Others watch to find their opening
In this game there's no room for three.
You're the king and I'm your queen,
But in real life I'm just your pawn
Dispensable as there's plenty others
You're up and out before dawn.
Difficult moves and into check
Escape but only narrowly
Mate is definitely your intention
But I'll try my hardest for it to not be with me.
Running away, you're in control
Pretty soon you'll win the game
Will I be just another conquer?
Just another forgotten name?
