Puppet and Puppeteer

Love, betrayal, deception—they weave,
a tapestry within my ribcage.
Each thread, a memory, a scar,
and I—caught in their intricate dance.

It binds my heart,
a marionette suspended by invisible hands.
My mind, a puppet stage, its curtains drawn,
and I—the actor, the audience, the fool.

Someone resides within me—The puppeteer,
a shadow with no face. Deliberate,
it pulls my strings, orchestrating,
my every movement, my every breath.

I dance, limbs flailing,
a marionette in a tempest.
My steps—staccato, my joints—frayed,
and the audience—silent, unseeing.

The script,
a tragedy written in ink and tears.
I mouth the lines, but they are not mine,
and the spotlight—cruel, unforgiving.

The stage burns,
its floor aflame. Abhorrence,
a wildfire consuming my veins,
and I—its fuel, its sacrifice….
