Ok this is my own .... I cant find my journal tonight ....for the stuff I want to put in but this and the other poem (above this thread) will do for now ....


Marionette Show

You finally
let my heart go.
Untied our strings ... now
I was dirty from my fall
You dropped me right in the mud ...
you know...
But .... look at me now
Standing in the pouring rain
Tendils of soaking hair curving down my bare back
drowning ivy
Sparkling clean new girl
Lipstick smeared down my chin , ha..
they must wonder whose blood I've been sucking.
Oh I've been sick over you
This hazy year gone by.
Your virus , eating my core.
As I sat .. in the pain-lit dark
Contemplated...
What went wrong, if it was me
or you ?
Waiting
for this curse to abate.
Trying... not to hate
as you wound my strings tightly
and yanked
your lips moving to my ear and murmuring
" Baby.. your dance , I once loved...
It bores me today...
But remain on your shelf in my absence
While I wander off and play
never forget
you're mine...
my darling marionette
no one loves you more
then I.."
Now... this last blow...
you've bought me to my knees again
in this smoky , loud disco
With that apathetic girl clinging to your side.
My mouth fallen open in
Incomprehension.
I'm fed the bitter medicine
and through the sting , I suddenly ...finally
feel good
and light again
I'm walkin in the rain , the dirts washing down
Sparkling clean new girl.
