The Puppeteer

A shadow puppet lurks, manipulated like a mental marionette, Creeping from the depths of my subconscious. The voice I hear, is no longer mine. Lusty demons I’d not forgot Come laughing back with sinister thought. Gashes, scars upon my heart Tear tender wrists apart. Indian summer cannot hinder October’s black internal winter.
