Puppetry


A used marionette

strung with wire

callously hanging

without causation

 

Empty melancholic eyes

kills a room dead

the once impassioned eyes

hung with a wire

 

A heart traced upon a chest

now looms with darkness

as something once there

succomed to the wires

 

A marionette used 

for nothing more than a show

now suspended from wreched wires 

submited to a vindictive nature
