What's that you carry in your hands?
Hiding from me as you've buffed it about carelessly
I've tried many a time to catch a mere glimpse
Curious as to what you have
For many years, I've observed you at play
Tossing this thing around as would a big cat
Teasing...taunting...batting...scratching
To most it would be a humorous spectacle, but me?
I grow tired.
Chess is still a boring game,
Even when it's a big cat pushing the pawn further away
Or reeling it back in - closer just for fun.
Finally, you choose to prove
Big cats aren't the ones killed by curiosity
As you drop your plaything on the ground
And walk away, no longer amused or interested.
And so I see it for the first time
There on the ground...
The remnants of what once was... my heart.
Broken and unrecognizable even to me,
Except for the faintest of sound in a solitary beat.

Lose one friend... Lose all friends... Lose Yourself...
