Puppet Master

She owns everything.

We are all merely her puppets.

Puppets?

That's what I am.

Fell into her spell

Captured.

She wouldn't let me go,

I was her favorite.

Why?

I followed her rules.

Me was no longer a word used,

I was not a person.

Puppet.

That's what I was.

I really like this! The only thing that seems odd is the use of the word "me". I understand you are trying to convey a lack of self, but using the pronoun in the sentence seems awkward and out of place from the rest of your twistedly beautiful poem. I think a lot of people can relate to playing the puppet in a relationship and finding they've lost themselves in the process.

I hope that helps. ^^ I just joined, so I'm knew at this.

From a personal experience I can relate to this.Only I perfer to call them manipulaters,like they hook you with good sex then they feel they have full control over you.Took me over 7 years to accept her for what she wasand when I told her no it broke her spell.Nice poem.
