Love, Destiny and Blood

I am a little blind mouse

Living on a wide chess board

And scuttling across the grid

With all might I can afford.

He sits across the table

With a playmate, like a kid;

He plays with her my Destiny

Placing my fate on a lid.

My eye of love is the bet

Dirty, old and blind

They pick me up by my tail

And place me as assigned

On a black or white

For all I know

I am so deadly blind.

My little heart is pawned next

As quivering cold I stand

He laughs and plans his next move

And picks me up on a hand.

A cold steel blade I feel next

Beside my red little heart

I know not who won who lost

Neither the game's fair start.

They threw my little body away

In a rotting garbage can

On a blotted chessboard

Lay my heart

And the garbage was picked by a van.

They reveled in the funny game

And in high spirits made love

My heart gave out spurts of blood

As my eyes appeared Above.
