The Love Gambit

in this two player game the stakes are high 
players can do so much worse than to die 
marriage is no more than an impulse pact 
love is more a phase than a lifelong fact

do watch your partner closely note her tell 
miss it and you will find a cheating hell 
the loss of love trust wins you a stalemate 
it’s always best to start with a clean slate 

it’s never about the placing of blame 
both game players must have the same endgame 
take a life decision, gambit or stay? 
make the best decision “En prise” the day 

slight caution may lead you to hesitate, 
the end result: a love loss by checkmate
