I told you I was there for you
I thought you trusted me too
I was a b r o k e n puppet last year
It was so good to have you near
We were fine
We were divine
I seemed like our paths were meant to aline
Now its our second year in this hell
which adults call school
I tried so hard to keep my cool
I smiled to keep your tears from falling
Even a step away from you
You began bawling
I tried the best I could to keep you happy
But now whenever I speak
You come off snappy
What did I say wrong?
No matter how rude you were
I stayed strong
Knowing it must've been an off day
Or you needed me to put on a play
You've been upset for quite sometime
But I think about you in my pastime
I try putting on my wooden smile
But you look away
What do I say?
Let's flip a dime
I am silent
I am still
A wooden puppet
I hear rumors
About you loving another
I soon discover
I soon learn
That I am not in your life anymore
I see you in the halls
I see you in my class
I think about you but I feel like I need to b r e a k glass
Can you not hear my calls?
I finally hear...
After two
Damned days
That you are with the boy I heard you whisper behind my back
I confront you.
You say
"You wouldn't have been able to take it"
My anger began to orbit
I rip up my smile
I throw up my kind words
I hide my b r o k e n heart
From evil monsters
I dare not go to the doctors
My strings are snipped
My smile is in shreds
My heart you ask?
My heart is in ribbons of red
For I am
Just a b r o k e n puppet to you
To all... |
