In the world of the puppeteered
A figment of imagination to be feared
A little paint, some tape and glue,
Look at that! I'm just like you!
Plastic grins and senseless smiles
See into blank eyes for endless miles
Never caring or bothering to try
They'd rather live life as a lie
I can see the dolls dancing
Strings attached to lives uncaring
Never wondering what their worth
Dolls tied and painted at their birth
To find your inner-self amongst other things
The puppet thus must cut the strings
Maybe then this puppet world
With knives and scissors shall be unfurled
Enticing scent of salt,
Soft caress so evanescent,
Smooth and rough slick,
The sensation came and went.
The soft sound of cloth,
Silk against my face,
THoughts of swirling darkness,
A bitter sweet and salty taste.
Coppery and sweet,
Mix of pleasure and pain.
Fluttering kisses so wet
And that sensation again.
Shivering and numb,
Cold, fragrant, and translucent,
Hot and throbbing underneath,
Brought forth by the sharp crescent.
The division within,
Keeping from without,
Is broken like a dam
Flooded after drought.
Gushing forth in torrents,
Swallowed in the dark,
After the sensation
The pain always leaves me stark.
The darkest light
To ease my tortured soul
Never bright
Never was so cold
Pain in mind
Pain in heart
What is my kind?
What is my part?
Never finding
Never healing
Always searching
Always unfeeling
What can I learn
From all I have lost
But nothing scorned
For the pain it may cost
Can't abide
To pass life by
May never know
The chance to try
But pain abating
I'll find a light
Hunger sating
Covered in night
