Chess

She was your king In a game of Chess The one piece you valued most You played your pieces With my heart on your sleeve You played your pieces Neglecting that it was there You used it as a pawn in your battle That one piece you don't care about You let it be devoured by deception Taken by the rook To you it was just another casualty in Chess You protected her You loved her Without your king There is no Chess When things ended I was collateral Damage In your game of deception

WOW, this is so Xool Sofia, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
