The Puppeteer
Was it the way you said my name?
Or could it be the tender touch
Of strong, masculine hands
Gently caressing the dull locks
Of my hair?
Average feels like a death sentence
I will soon face my end
In the presence of your magnificent glow
Shining amongst every mortal you come across
The fire your hands possess
Controls my every move with a single touch
I am a puppet made of straw
Whilst you are the puppeteer made of gold
Oh! How the heavens miss you
A god fallen from the sky
What deed must you have committed
Surely, you are bound to have at least one flaw
Alas, you do not
The utter perfection in just your pinky
Is enough to ignite the earth
Or to split an atom in two
The flick of your tongue calls out to me
I obey your command
I do not recognize your evil
Until you coax me into taking my mortality
To the grave.
