Pinocchio
A wish been granted, killed,
Against the laws of nature
He that demanded, willed
Life into inanimate stature
Yet another cliche instilled
A wish upon a star, gatekeeper
Of life caught napping, whistles trill
Loss and pain, nature of fear
The puppet learns to keep his heart still
The puppet breaks with human tears
"Pinocchio..." She said, fervent
"Tell me... Was it all worth it?"
