Chess

Who am i to you 

but a mere puppet on a string

do this do that

needs you want quenched

Your errand boy

you have running doing the things 

you know you should do yourself

This is the relationship that I equate with love

but is it truly love 

or just your persistent procrastination

Am I completely blind to the truth 

or evading the possibilities 

of feeling unloved

is being unloved worst than being under appreciated 

am i needed or just a pawn you move 

if so will i one day protect the queen

the queen is dead

i see it in your eyes

the game lost

no more battles to be fought

someday soon i will be knighted

appointed my own kingdom to protect

will you survive 

or will my uprising be your upheavel

Nice poem. Thanks for sharing :)

Hi, This is a good poem and it is full of emotion and symbolism. I agree that puppet on a string would be better in your own words. Very good though.

A poem I like, well balanced with quatrains and triplets. One small point, puppet on a string jumps off the page as a cliche, and L6 needs a better syntax.The fourth stanza needs a question mark.
A good poem that needs some work.
