A Puppet's Severed Strings
My heart burned and yearned fer thee
as a raging forest-fire that could not be extinguished
It burned out of control and consumed everything in its path
leaving me emotionally paupered and injured
I had such dreams and visions
of you constantly by my side
And now it seems my visions
have been replaced and set aside
by hurt and pain -- all kinds of things
that serve no positive sustenance
to feed a starving, dying heart
that cares no more to recompense
I fell like a store-bought puppet
who smiles and dances..and things
...a puppet who lies limply on the ground
after someone severed his strings
Dedicated to faithful and enduring love
