today you touched me
in a relatively long time, 
i held you close and
the others just as,
glare at one another 
and caress me, 
in a wink
for i dont feel as any of you do,
i see you merely as pawns...
lovable, gentle, sex-hungry, pawns.
i love the way all of you touch
but i still am not satisfied, 
as boredom sets in
i want th new and interesting,
come, join me in this game of chess
a knight is a good ol' boy, 
waiting for the king to leave
so the dominoes fall,
i am but a queen 
with no king,
a fruitless search
the best, the worst,
i'll laugh for you all the same
on my empty chess board.
