PUPPET STRINGS

You played with my emotions , tugging on my puppet strings arms wobbling , feet flimsy , my mouth , your word fling .

Filthy and broken on dirt I thought we had something almost . Moonlit kisses , walk in beaches , Walk in sunsets , now just a painful memory haunting like a ghost .

My strings you pull and toss stained brown , tethered like strands of rope , ivory gown , deep ground , buried you hands gripping my last glimmer of hope  .

Your sanity is my dollhouse , the strands are the strings to my heart and all you want to do is trash and rip me every bit apart .
