Puppet Show

You have the right to love

and be loved as well.

The right to, not just break but, shatter from your shell.

Run free, run proud

sing to me and sing it loud.

Slacks and dresses spinning and twirling,

backs and arms bending and curling.

Dance like the puppets do

not seeing the strings touching you.

 

*please puppet master loosen your grip

please god let his hand slip*

 

Listen to me love theres no need

for the begging and the pleeding,

theres no reason for the weeping and the bleeding.

Never stray from whats true in your heart

and like a soft candle light,

it will guide you through the dark.

 

Now I've spoke with your master

it's not such a disaster,

he told me with no laughter,

"No one will ever out last her."

 

But the grey sky above has killed my sense of love

and with so much to talk about

but nothing left to say,

I bit my tongue

and just walked away.
