Chess

Simple pieces
Fragile
Dressed up to play the part
Moving about according
To their status
A knight in shining armor
Defeats the castle
To steal the queen
Capturing pieces of my heart
Winning the game
Deceiving
Yet when love comes
Tricks are no longer necessary
For the game becomes apparent
The counterfeit is recognized
Leaving only black and white
Scattered across the board
You must make the choice
To win forever
The king
Check-mate
