To understand for what a person aims
We often try to read them like a book
We turn each page or play these vexing games
For something else to help us move our rook
With you it’s been an endless game of chess
In which we switch between both black and white
If asked about your heart I couldn’t guess
You’ll act the horse’s ass and then the knight
Into our checkered past I often stray
To try and understand our future fate
We seem to always occupy the gray
In agony, so close to that checkmate
Where you see columns, I see rows and rows
What we should be, a genius wouldn’t know
