But now, I’m filled with strife and stress

I never thought it come to this
The captured queen, withdrawn
The words she wrought we’ll surely miss
Our sky bereft of dawn

Sir Reggie, I think you have something special here. Pondering over the last few weeks here at DUP, and your title I can only think of the obvious. Either way, the game of chess does make us think thoroughly before making a move to only then regret when we lose an important piece.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
