The MarionetteA Poem by NexililyMy newest poemThe fine grain of porcelain, my fragile face My dress, what a beauty, all lined with black lace. I'm just an object, a possession, a thing A marionette and you hold the strings
Pull one string with sweet words, what i want to hear Another with cunning, so strong, with no fear A third pulled by your smile, so calm and so bright A last by your dreams, I hope each takes flight
You've gained a new hobby, new amusement's been found I'm tossed from my spot yet i cant make a sound I long to protest but i have not the power She's taken my place in your affectionate shower
The sweet word diminish just murmurs reamin The cunning now masked by a silent refrain Your smile is fading, a shadow of late I'm no longer a part of your dreams, your fate.
The string you have cut, the tears i have shed Like rain to the ground, now flow in red. The last line is falling, I pop one last pill The strencth in me's draining, go in for the kill.
You said that you loved me to make me smile But you didn't mean it, my faith was on trial. Now you,ve gone silent, you've cut the last thread. Once living for you, I'm officially... Dead. © 2008 Nexilily |
