Playing Chess
by Sebastian J. Brook

Standing, waiting for a sign.
Am I yours or are you mine?

Making moves that don’t feel right.
I’m in darkness, you’re in light.

Some things in life aren’t always black and white,
now and then, we have to stand and fight.

With the horses coming, I keep running, air inside me running out, but up ahead the castle is in sight.
Will you stand beside me before the night?

Playing chess to pass the time.
Creaking hands, bells that chime.

Do I walk between the cracks?
Moving forwards never back.

Some things in life aren’t always black and white,
Now and then we have to stand and fight

With the horses coming, I keep running, air inside me running out, but up ahead the castle is in sight.
Will you stand beside me before the night?

And time can close the distance in between,
until then you’ll always be my queen.

Yes time can close the distance in between,
until then you’ll always be my queen.
