___________________________________

I am the puppet
but where is my master?
i sit abandonned, alone
       crying

i can scarcely breath-
a puppet, lying lifeless on the floor
waiting for those powerful fingers
to make me dance, and live, and laugh
once more

but now,
i am nothing
paint-chipped wood and lopsided smile
i wait
      i wonder
i can feel myself slowly disintegrating
into the surrounding earth
once loved,
now a fading memory

lying lifeless on the floor
a loved one,
deserted

haha thats ok. to be honest i pretty much hate free verse as well but i just figured i'd give it a try. dont worry though im sticking to my usual stuff cause no offense but it dosent take much effort or time to write something like that. i took me like 3 minutes
