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 <-@
