Your Puppet

They said it was best for me, that’s all it had to be, and it was over. But now that I see the light, and the days are bright, it feels much colder. I cant feel the wings you’ve clipped, or the strings you’ve snipped from me. I can’t just walk away, with the freedom I can finally see. I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away like the words you said to me. I was nothing, I should have been something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say anything, I could have said anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held me, instead you left me, and that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only everything. Months felt like hours, everyday soured, nothing was right. I couldn’t eat anything, couldn’t swallow the pain, of a broken heart. My nights lay there sleepless, my mind ran on emptiness. I never felt anything after your uselessness. So I ran away, as far as I could stay. I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away. I was nothing, I should have been something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say anything, I could have said anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held me, instead you left me, and that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only everything. Guitars only make music, when you play them right, how you played me all night, in the hours. I could have been anyone, but it was your sick fun, to torment me. My hair twisted in messy curls, I was still you’re little girl in your eyes. You never quite understood, how deep I really hurt, inside my mind. I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away. I was nothing, I should have been something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say anything, I could have said anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held me, instead you left me, and that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only everything. You cant own me, but in memory, where I’ve always stayed. But in the reality, as seen on your t.v, ill run away…you cant keep me. Ill run away.
