Wax Figure

I fall to you
(at your beckoning)
pale as the moon
drained of my blood,

my pleasure, my life

 

for you are the puppet master,

and these strings are too tight for me to shake off

    Yes, I am commenting...

    Sorry bout the lateness =/

    But, there is nothing that I can say about this poem that can accurately describe how I felt when I read it.

    I don't know why, but this poem just spoke to me, and still does.

    It's short, but says so much.

    See?
    I'm not good at describing my reasons for liking something as much as I like this poem...
