Checkmate
if life was a game of chess
i would make you play the white pieces
because i am terrified to move first.
if your bed was an ocean
i would drown in my emotions while lying there
because i never learned how to swim.
if life was a playground
i would leave blood and skin on the pavement
because i fell for you.
if your bed was a graveyard
i would have my epitaph engraved on your headboard.
