Poetry Chess Game -- Brandon vs. Todd

[brandontoh]

Thanks Todd! =D By the way I edited it some, do tell me if it works better or not.

In the stale couch, stare on old fire.
Worries overflow, a sigh escapes.
Imposing statue of damaged presence;
The flicker pensive, ran out of passion.
For what is a man to do, to build a man?

This fighter is beat, by time, by life.
Losing is a habit, and so is irony.
This single dad protects, but doesn't guide.
Loser raises losers, so it's best to let go.
A love so awkward, the loved doesn't know.
