Puppet Poem by Olivia Braun

Rip out my heart strings and play a bloody lullaby
Take me for all I am and tear me down inside
Let your claws shred my heart, It was already broken for the start
I gave you all I was, but it seems that it wasn’t good enough
My love was yours to have
Something I had hoped never would have been given back
Instead of a painful goodbye
You made this elaborate plot to destroy my life
You knew you where all I had, and all I wanted
And I’m taunted with that fact
My back riddled with gashes
For your love a thousand lashes
To weak to move, until my mind broke though
Clouded judgment let your wicked plans come to light
It took a loveless love to open my eyes
