Read, Compliment and Critique
I move to you closer,
Just to touch the other side
Make myself known
But our hands are tied
Yet the lies that dart around me
Murder my only wall.
The only knight I knew
Once stood tall
Taken by the rook who
Skipped my defence
In a quick ounce of luck
Is now behind the main fence
I am checked
I am locked
But my pawn at the edge
The clock ticks ... tick tock, tick, tock
The Queen on your side
Stands gleaming and bright
She looks at me leering
How majestic, how right?
Her horror glares
As her power rules
As she takes my knight, my bishop and rook
And i am ever left a fool
She dangles me there
I’m scared she’ll let go
My pieces near taken
Do you notice me? ...no
Three pieces to go
But hope still remains when you glance at me there
Do you still love me?
Could you even care?
She stands there still
With your best friend there
His regal like qualities,
And long flowing hair
He diagonalled behind your back for sure
Touching your queen and doing it all
But there all away and your all alone
I see you, as you begin to fall
Where are they now?
As my offence is strong
The few pieces I have
Are edging you on
But I’ll take my chances as I walk to your side
I love you it’s true but I can’t take you now
You’ve ignored me, belittled me
And now I’m yours?
I’m always just the rebound girl
I guess in this game of love, chess and war
I’ve checkmated you still
And to your knees you still fall
But the queen is still there and I’m all alone
Just a dainty love interest
I guess I’ve known all along
But the last move I say, the easiest, the best
I surrender my will
This game I detest
Never together will I ever be
I am the pawn!
And never the queen.
