Oh, I’m a little puppet
I dance upon your string
I am loving every moment
Though to you it’s just a fling

I sing for you a song
From my puppet’s heart
Still you seem so distant
It’s tearing me apart

Oh, I’m a little puppet
Tangled in my string
I’m learning a hard lesson
Pain is all you ever bring

I am just a plaything
A toy that you will break
Yet I keep on giving
And all you do is take

Oh, I’m a little puppet
Hanging from these strings
So broken and forgotten
Like an angel without wings
For the record, I don't dance on anyone's strings. This poem came outta nowhere, like most do. Not sure where the inspiration came from. Written today. First poem in a while.

I sung a little tune in my head reading this... strange how it's funny but also very sad and pathetic.
