Kill me softer now;
maybe you won't hear me scream.
Paint my face with your lies and smiles,
maybe then you can sleep.
Dress me like a marionette.
You never could hear me speak;
wooden smiles tell you what you want to hear.
You think this will solve everything,
it doesn't solve a little thing;
you never knew what it was like.
You never knew how it felt;
do you want me to be alone?
Breathe in, breathe out.
A never-ending game.
Now I'm gone, game over, how does it feel?

It is so sad how insensitive some men can be. You express this so well with your words in this poem. You have so many great lines, but this is one of my favorites:
"You never could hear me speak;
wooden smiles tell you what you want to hear."

i liked the imagery and emotions in this.
Dress me like a marionette.
You never could hear me speak;
wooden smiles tell you what you want to hear.
