pained

There are strings between you and me
Invisible and weightless
Yet
So heavy and so there

Wherever you go,
I follow.
Helpless,
I have no choice
The pain if I resist
Makes me scream till I have no voice.

A wanderer, you never stay put
The places we visit never dull the step in my foot

You always seemed happy and smiling.
It must've been a joke
I mean, after all
You cut the strings
Ripping them off thread by thread.
Maybe it was another one of your charades.

Was I a fool?
I thought things were good.

Obviously,
They weren't.

I hope you do realise
The pain you have placed
In the rips and tears of my heart and skin
I'll never be the same
But that's okay
As long as you're happy,
I'll stay this way.
