Disclaimer: don't own anything. I am poor
Hello again! I have to say, I am really happy about this poem. It's based on the whole Sephiroth Cloud relationship, and how he controls Cloud. It's a little cryptic at parts, but forgive me since the ideas were just flowing, and it felt right.
Hope you enjoy it!
Marionette
Finger to finger
Thread, intertwined
Something still lingers
Yes, something still pines
Just, don't forget
"You're a Puppet"
---
Wooden joints creak
With every forced step
Glass eyes, they reek
Of sap and of sweat
Just, don't forget
"You're a Puppet"
---
Pale hands mesh
Cold wires that slice
Deep, deep, into flesh
'Round wrists--Too tight!
Just, don't forget
"You're a Puppet"
---
Hanging, unwilling
From heartstrings, tautly bound
By the master's glad bidding
The mouth moves, not a sound
Just, don't forget
"You're a Puppet"
---
A splintering smile
Blue globes, wide with fear
A death comes, so vile
A dummy with tears?
No, no don't forget!
"You're a Puppet!"
---
The knotted cords loosen
The slave--free at last
Clutches death, now translucent
The clouded days past
No, no! no regrets!
"You're my Puppet!"
---
The master struggles, bewildered
Knuckles tangled in twine
The dummy stands, unhindered
No longer blind
Please, please don't forget
"You're a Puppet"
---
Wrists bleeding, mind reeling
Mouth grimly set
The shadow's thinking and feeling
"Now...now, do you fret?
"I'm no puppet"
---
Isn't it grand?
Isn't it fitting?
The master, to die
By it's shadow's kind dealing
Yet, it'll never forget
Hands woven--a net
And the poignant cry
"How? Why?… You're a Puppet!"
