Puppet Show

By SickSanityJenn

Your words scream inside my head
Everything I wish you never said
Like a poison that can't be bled
Left to fester there until I'm dead

Like a scene from my favorite movie
I watch it all play out before me
Sick to my stomach with useless worry
But you go on determined and unhurried

This violent behavior, not befitting a savior
You're such a disaster, erratic in nature
I sit back for the feature, my filthy creature

I try to pull you out of the flames
But you're too busy doling out blame
Blindly you put your horrors on dislplay
Such a beautiful thing so full of shame

Tonight we leave our audience outside
I'm too tired to even try to hide
Nothing is sacred that's left inside
I see the slip of your constant disguise

This violent behavior, I'm no savior
We're a disaster, erratic in nature
Sit back for the feature my midnight creature
