Chess Pieces

Chess pieces. By Katie Louise.



I can’t ever win this dreaded battle, no matter how hard I’ve truly tried! Some would say I am like the queen of the familiar chessboard who always keeps on fighting, with or without a king fighting by me side; however never can I win as I stand, single-handedly, my heavy heart hounding inside of my chest like a room bursting of famished lions raging, pounding into the cage of my ribs...



Lungs filled with anticipation.



Slowly my own eyes catch a glimpse of your own indulging, mysterious, loving eyes as the ponderous thought runs over and over in my mind, like a film of life forever stuck on replay: I know I shouldn’t love you- Yet you’ve stole my heart and I don’t feel like I can ever get it back!

Perhaps I am just blinded, my mirrored eyes deluded by love nevertheless If you were to count each and every star, to build our perfect universe, I’d be certain we’d have enough! Yet if not I would surely run to the Milky Way and back so that we could be together- whatever it takes.

Finally.

I know you never notice me; I know we will never truly be together yet for some reason unknown, I can’t ever give up on you. I won’t ever allow myself! Nevertheless if only you could see me, for who I truly am, my soul, my love, my wisdom. Me. Maybe then you would realize I'm not like all the rest... I don't want to use you to make me look cool, or gain popularity, I want you. Through thick and thin. I need you...
