Otto Fabel Dec 2016
I uttered those words
Without understanding their true meaning
How ignorant of me
The look on your face
Killed me
Figuratively
It made me wish
I could take it all back
Two words
With honest intent
Changed this game forever
I have never before
More closely evaluated my life
Than when I said "Check mate"
And you still had a move to make
Otto Fabel Aug 2016
My demons convinced me
We'd grow happy and old together
There's still time and hope
But you're already so happy
And I think my demons
**** at telling fortunes
