This is My Checkmate

I walked on eggshells every day
Your silence always led the way
No need for screams, no need for fire
You clipped my wings, then called me liar
You smiled like truth was just a game
While I forgot my own damn name

You never yelled, you stayed polite
But every breath stole more of mine

This is my Checkmate, my last move made
No more lies, no more games played
I break your silence, burn your throne
I claim the power once unknown
No more chains, no more disguise
I'm tearing down your web of lies

I played for peace, you played for pain
Your kindness came with rusted chains
Each vow a trap, each kiss a war
You cut me down, then asked for more
You circled slow, like you were bored
While I threw love you just ignored

You didn't curse or raise your hand
But every silence made me bend

This is my Checkmate, my last move made
No more lies, no more games played
I break your silence, burn your throne
I claim the power once unknown
No more chains, no more lullabies
I'm tearing down your web of lies

I'm not your pawn, not one more play
I flip the board and walk away
This isn't loss, it's breaking free
You caged a storm, now watch me leave

This is my Checkmate, the final move
No more lies, no need to prove
You showed your face but lost your soul
I took the hit, but I stayed whole
No more pawns beneath your reign
Now I walk away... free from pain
