Just like a BISHOP
You’re a sneaky diagonal mover.
While I am on the hunt
For a straight shooter.
Like a ROOK
Moving in vacant squares.
You move in and out of relationships.
Backward
Forward
Vacantly
And so damn casually.
You jump around
In ‘L’ Shapes.
Like a useless KNIGHT
Throwing the ‘L’ word around.
Carelessly
Inconsistent
With your objective
And your words.
Once again
Losing sight of the bigger picture.
For every pawn sacrificed
In your path of destruction
Was a potential queen.
And a QUEEN is still the most valuable piece
In the game of life.
Not to mention
She too
Has the range
And the ability
To take you out
In one smooth motion.
So proudly
I stand before you.
A PAWN.
Small
Unthreatening
Courageous
Willing to battle in the trenches
For unworthy mock kings
Such as yourself.
And I stand firmly
Unwavering
In my decision to let you go.
So
Checkmate
Oh mighty KING.
You loose.
The game.
And the girl.

King Louis XVI oddly found himself in the same predicament. His girl (Marie Antoinette) continuously warned him to stop playing games with people. Failure to heed her advice lead to his checkmate.The once mighty King eventually ended up in chopping block without a head.

I guess it goes to show Sammy that some mistakes will get repeated often throughout history. When will Kings learning indeed darling?
