The Puppeteer

Listen to this whilst reading! http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=u69CkyLJUKU

The happiness in the world is gone..

It’s like a lifeless puppeteer steering his puppets..

No souls, no feeling..

He has lost touch with himself..

His pain is too much to bear..

There’s no wind under his wings..

No one to take him in..

When he’s cold and alone..

Does he even care for his puppets anymore..

 

Have we just fallen under darkness..

Is this the end?

Is there anything that we could’ve done better?

I sincerely don’t know..

Neither do I really care..

I’m proud to say that the suffering is not hard..

It is the..

The fading of tragic love gone by..

So stand at my funeral..

Scream my name out loud..

Please darling..

Don’t cry for me..

All you need to care about is how..

Much I really loved you..

 

I looked from atop a cliff..

All the idiocy..

Hypocrisy..

All washed away on a distant shore..

Nothing was to be seen..

My soul screamed at me..

I found that..

I had a soul..

It was..

My..

Love..

It was all I needed..

It brought..

Clarity..

It brought..

Victory..

It left me to die..

It couldn’t handle my way of life..

 

I look back at the lonesome puppeteer..

Steering his puppets in endless agony..

It was a sight for few..

His heart was trembling at foot of the kiss from his love..

Dead on the inside..

Hollow on the outside..

All there was left of him was a soulless wreck..

I walked to him and asked..

“What have you become.”

He looked at me..

Dropped his puppets..

“I have become a puppeteer.. I have become a voyeur of the world that is trembling down.. of a world long gone.. It’s not what it became it’s what it lost..”

I looked at him..

Heart in hand..

“You’re like me..”

He evaporated..

 

I lost my conscience with my dying breath..

I fell into the darkness known only as love..

The sharp itching pain of love..

 

As my coffin closes..

I want you to be free..

 

Lay me here..

On this field of justice..

Just let me die in agonizing terrifying love..

Leave me..

 

I will be right here..

Just as dead as a puppeteer..

 

 

The happiness in the world is gone..

I know now that I’ll always be wrong..

My climax has been reached..

There’s nothing more to live for..

"I have become a puppeteer.. I have become a voyeur of the world that is trembling down.. of a world long gone.. It’s not what it became it’s what it lost..”
Nice line there.

All in all I have to say well done. You've made me become empathetic and fully understand this state of mind. I only wish there was better flow or fluidity throughout.

[Brook Hughes]

Great poem. very interseting way of expressing your love for someone. Keep writing an i will keep reviewing:)

[Kiri Nells]

That's really well done! I don't think all the ellipses were necessary, though. Overusing a tool in poetry can sometimes take away the art of it. Should you continue using it, it's probably good to know that ellipses are always '...' three dots, no matter what.
Other than that, you did a fantastic job! Much enjoyed the read!

[AchingAlexandra]

that was . . .
I'm at a loss of words for that .
It was simply amazing , to say the least .

[Liza]

to acknowledge the existence of fears can be a courageous acceptance but i'm left with sadness

[stars are far]

nice ..

[RJM]

This is beautiful and tragic. You showed how we really act these days, how we all just give up and run to the shelter of our mind and create something of what we want.

[Inyourshadow]

This is a very deep depressive piece dealing with so many emotions and personal if not world wide issues. So much seems to be orchestrated these days that we can hardly hear the sound of our own screaming. Loved it, keep em' coming
