Puppet Show

Can you hate a cd playing over and over again, when you're the one pressing the play button?

Keep on playing

Your little game

Go change your mind

It's all the same

 

Drag me along

With your string

Lashing out

Feel the sting

 

Breaking heart

Crunching down

Tastes cliché

Empty sound

 

Blind to the world

Have your fun

Get me started

As soon as you’re done

 

Screaming silence

Dry Eyed tears

Repeating regrets

Forgetting fears

 

Buried down

Hard to Breathe

Deadly Stay

Still can't leave

 

Part still left

Almost stuck

Memories tart

Twisted luck

 

Pointless turns

Spinning lies

Ended sentence

No how’s, when’s, or whys

 

Darkened light

Livened Kill

Peaceful threat

Blanded thrills

Nikki, you're a great writer. I miss you and your influence. I really like this poem.
