Why so serious?

Everyone set to dine,

You rose,

From the heart of the room.

Cloaked in candy apple red,

To match the scars.

You ring the crystal glass with your knife,

To engage all those seated in the majestic hall.

Bubbly demeanor gave way to dark features.

You were there of course, In order to celebrate the forever love

Of your best friend and your one time soulmate on their blessed union.

A mere two short years after they both left you for dead.

Shock and awe for the one who plays chess not checkers.
