marionette

blood ran down

dark as night

the heads hung back

as if they were marionettes

just set there to rest

in a neat little row

like a puppet seller puts the puppets

when its time to close up shop

and me sitting in my little corner

screams running through my head

the knife in her hand

waiting for her to finish her deed

i saw the gleam in her eyes

she was like a child at christmas

so i could go home and sleep

try to forget

never learning how to forget

i had helped her psychotic mind

i accidentally gazed down the row

he seemed to smile

like he knew it was me

how had i lured him?

she had controlled me

make me bring him

so she could have me

all to herself

all alone

when she is gone
