The darkness envelops his small frame

Whispering lies and taunting sneers

They grow louder, so difficult to tame

As the memories return confirming his fears


All sense of control leaves his being

Leaving him empty with only guilt and regret

As his once lively soul is left dead and aging

Only to be used as a tragically beautiful marionette


And with no resistance from his aching self

Havoc is what he wreaks among those he loved

Believing that all he has is the puppeteer and himself

To get back his once beloved


In the end, he is left with broken strings

And an empty theater filled with thoughts

Of years lost and lonesome springs

As his once clear mind is made into knots
