We place the table
Where we see fit
But only now,
Has the game begun.
I look up to your arrogance
And see confidence in what you do.
But, for you,
All hope will soon be lost.
I place my people,
My pawns,
Who look up to me in admiration
In the middle of the board.
“A worthy sacrifice”
I say as you take them.
I only smile,
For my plan is yet from over.
“You seem to have forgotten who you’re against?”
A friend you once loved
A friend you once held
You never thought they’d be the ones to betray you.
I take the master,
The ruler of all those beneath him.
The king.
You forgot.
Your arrogance has cost you many things
But as I move my king,
To call my victory upon this game,
Your eyes search mine?
I wonder what you intended to find?
But dear friend,
This battle is not over
I will not lose to
This game of life.

This simple poem has great emotion behind it. I can almost feel the emotion in this poem. I really liked this. Good job!
This poem is very simple yet very intense. I dont' know how you did it, but you managed to create a poem of which I cannot describe in one word. The feeling you create is wonderful and you did a really really nice job with this. Well done and Keep writing!
Thanks!!
Very emotional. Good job!
