LOVE PUPPET

 LOVE PUPPET

  

Should I say it?

Should I keep it? 

Should I hide it? 

Like I always do.

Should I twist it?

Should I reveal it? 

Will you deny it? 

Like you always do.

You give out your best;

You give me the rest. 

Leftovers, that's all I get. 

Sometimes, I do regret.

Knowing you,

Believing you; 

Trusting you, 

Loving you. 

My pillow soaks

All my tears;

My pillow knows

All my fears. 

I may be a puppet

Down your string;

Treat me like carpet, 

Pray I don't sting. 

------------------------------

 

I may not be stronger

In your eyes, 

But I know I'm stronger 

Than your lies.

  

Yes, I often smile,

But behind that smile 

Is a heap of pain 

Driving me insane.

  

I see your deeds;

You think you're best. 

You plant your seeds 

And forget the harvest.

Truth be told;

You are a cheat!

This style is old;

You are cheap.

  

My pillow soaks 

All my tears. 

My pillow knows 

All my fears. 

I may be a puppet 

Down your string. 

Treat me like carpet, 

Watch out for my sting
