They played the game of deepest, darkest secrets today-
He moved his knight to A7
And checkmated her soul.
The only move she has left--
There's one secret she hasn't told him,
One unnoticed pawn in the corner.
And that silly token means everything-
But here it is.
All her heart wants is to
Know that deepest darkest romance.
She wants to be as Heathcliff and Kathy,
Ross and Rachel,
Darcy and Lizzy.
Pick your famous couple from pop culture--
she envies them.
It's not the dreamy perfect man
With alabaster brow that she longs after.
It's fitting with someone so utterly.
So perfectly.
That she cannot breathe.
So, gentle boy, take her pawn.
Take it, but remember, this one has wishes.

The third stanza is my favorite, with the description of not being able to breathe. That's a better description than most.
