fourteen; chess

i don’t ever want us to be anything but what we are
i can’t imagine us
being anything but what we’ve grown to be

and i hate how you always say you’re sorry
when it’s my fault we’re in this mess

our chess pieces are mirrored
but something’s wrong
and a stalemate is where we’ve met

on a battlefield of hurt feelings and
emotions that don’t belong

our pieces move in tandem
yet we’re broken somewhere in the
middle

but i can’t remember how to feel

  2. I like the game, but I often feel frustrated when I play it, much the sort of emotion I wanted to bring across. A sort of bitter sadness brought across by frustration.
