My Detriment

A pawn sliding across your cruel chess board,

But this is my destiny,

I will not let you control me,

Your crown clatters to the floor,

You will not win this war.

 

Thorny kisses and unlikely misses,

But baby I can't miss this,

Determination is your detriment,

Pale hearts are my punishment.

 

Lacerations calculating,
Self inflicted my mind reels,

Metal monsters reak of havoc,

Snatching flesh and blood- it steals...

I love that this piece is so strongly emotional yet shrouded in a mysteriousness that leaves the reader to imagine most of what it is about. Excellent work!
