Foolishly

I am just a pawn
A sacrificial piece
Your game will continue on
With or without me
Foolish am I for thinking
That I hold a special thought
In the heart of a King or Queen
Whom loyally I stand guard
I fight for a belief
A moral that must live on
I die for a reason
Yet so quickly I'm forgotten
I can't believe how stupid I can be
To lay my life on a line
You made such a fool out of me
I'm so cowardly and blind
The first to make a move
In a complex game of life
With everything to lose
I move forward in a line
With only one or two steps forward
I'm unable to look back
I draw out the opponent
But only sideways will I attack

I am just a pawn
Here to protect a Queen
Loyally I stand guard
Waiting for a defeat
I lay my life on the line
So someone else can live on
Other's are dying with me
Yet I am standing here alone
The battlefield is limited
Constrained by circumstance
I play my part in your game
Because I'm ensnared by your trance
One more step ahead
Not knowing what the future holds
Believing your freedom will cost my life
So I gracefully lay down my soul
One more step for freedom
A victory I hope to share
Taken out by a Bishop
The game of life just isn't fair

Either you die for the one you love in vain
Or you live on knowing that he is gone
For now I am the Queen of this game
And the battlefield is my home
I placed all the pieces in front of me
To protect me from any harm
Any suiters attempting to persue me
Are taken down by all my pawns
I call out to my soldiers
And they take a step ahead
Laying down their hearts and souls
For someone who is dead
No emotions left to feel
No love to call my own
Just a game of give and take
A game that continues on
With or without you here
This game will still be played
A broken heart makes a lonely Queen
Stagnant and disdained
