This Little Puppet

Let me stay in your arms tonight.

Just for once let me stay.

I've carried this cross for you.

But tonight...

I'm broken.

My wooden limbs are cracked and dusty,

The paint on my face has faded,

The strings which bind me to your hands,

Are frayed and snapped tonight.

I know this is selfish of me,

But just for this one night can I,

Hold your hand,

Rest my head upon your chest.

Be in the comfort of you.

I'm sorry for asking this.

You can say no if you'd like.

Just please fix the pieces before I get back up again.

So I can stand strong for you,

With a smile,

And know I mean something to you.

Author notes

If fate will let it be so...I may be able to do this...

Could have used more?

    I love it! it fits with the theme you seem to be going with quite well, it flows nicely, the imagery is good, and the message is deep and heartfelt. Good write!
