A Marionette

Contributed by reprobate on Saturday, 29th May 2004 @ 11:06:13 AM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



Soulless pain coursing through my veins
Blanketing thought against rationality
Stinging salt crusts out vision
A bitter song of two and one making one

What are the costs, really, how much
When everything has been given
Only to find that nothing is left
It's all good, so you say

The echoes of goodbye footsteps
Cut through me like lightning in the dark
Dreams now become as hollow as shadows
As ruptured shards of our life clatter and crash

Shackled with useless, lingering hope
Misbegotten faith seems like disease
A puppet to these sardonic feelings
I'm just strung up to be drug around

I have never felt like anyones puppet, but I sure have felt like a puppet for life's needs. Your scribbles are very meaningful, my friend.
