A Mere Pawn by ~Shikamarugirl7:iconShikamarugirl7:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Family Life > Open


I am used in his fucking plan to destroy her
Though I play an important part
Losing me is unimportant
I am but the pawn in his stupid chess game.

Once I'm gone he can no longer use me
But he uses me without a care
Not caring whether I suffer or not
Nor how much more he hurts me than her.

It's all unimportant to him
And I am not his only pawn
He has two others which he uses as he pleases
And though I once thought they were luckier than I
I've come to realize that that was so untrue.

Why does he do this to me though?
I never hurt him,
I love him
No matter how hard he makes it for me to love him.

Still,
I am but a mere pawn
In his stupid game of chess.

Author's Comments

Don't really like it, amazing right, I don't really like what I write, but still. So anyway, this was thought of a while back but until now wasn't written down, and I could kind of remembered what the poem I'd thought of was but I got it now. If you're interested, the guy I'm talking about is my dad, which you may have guessed, and the chick is my mom. The other pawns, well, they're my sibblings, but I don't really care to go into details cuz I'm lazy and it really has nothing to do with anybody else but w/e, critique it please, since I may scrap it if I'm not too lazy

Chess....awesome metaphors used, by the way. This poem is really, really deep.

Chin up. Maybe..somehow..life will get better.

haha, life is better like this, not really domestic violence anymore, but still, it sucks to know your dad cares more about his ex=wife than his own children :+favlove:

You have my prayers. I'm sure it'll get better. Maybe you should tell your dad how you feel...

naw, I don't like him, love em, but I don't like him, and he always has a really good arguement, and nothing i say is gonna chnage him or his mind, it's something in his way of thinking, and only he can fix it, but by avoiding him, I wanted to get closer, it's really the only way, well we won't get closer, but we wouldn't drift so far apart, so oh well

Oh...well...I guess there's nothing I can say really, to change that. Just know that you've got my prayers.

Hope it'll get better...somehow...

yeah, me too, i guess one of us'll have to be dying, but I think that by hadly talking we can work it out, we can't fight, which gives time for the wounds to heal, cuz if you keep receiving blow after blow without time to recover, you never will recover, so you need to rest and get better, kinda like when you get mad and people won't leave you alone about it

I like this, the emotion is very strong and it's one of the best attributes to this piece. Btw: l liked the use of swearing, added so much more:P
I didn't read your author's comment because I got such a strong vibe from this that I wanted to tell my perspective without basis.
I've read this once and I thought this sounds a guy(bisexual) using his gay lover as a way to smite his ex-girlfriend.
I know it isn't what the poems about, because I saw the word sibling used in the author's comment:P
But that's my perspective.
Good work.

I breathe Ether. (can't choke).
And there is only vividness, omnipotence and hyperreality.
