marionette

String me along by my invisible leash, I really don't mind the neck pain. Tell me you'd like to take me for a test drive, I'll always be in the lot, after all. Tell me of all your loves past, your present conquests, Knowing full well that it breaks my heart. Pull the strings and watch me dance, Because you tell me so. Take me where your heart may fly, You know I'd love to go. Kiss me when you're drunk enough, When no one else is near. Just hold me tightly in your arms, And take away my fear. But only when it's good for you, Will I be by your side. Until the day comes when you choose, In shadows I shall hide. You must enjoy this power, this conquest, To have me at your beckon call, Whenever your irrational heart desires. I'm dangling on a string for you, And you know I'll never find another.God, someone tell me how to get over this guy. :( Written November 22nd, 2001 © on Nov 22 2001 12:39 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
