Puppeteer Poem by Leopold Gunther

You played me like a puppet, you puppeteer
Moving my feet you once coaxed me away from all my fear
My strength so gathered in your assured grip
You had my heart twisted ensnared with your lips
I would have given to you everything my dear, my puppeteer
In my mind there you were, my soul being your frontier
A fiddle I was and how your fingers plucked my hearts strings
How you twisted and turned the melody in my being
How I’ve been without you, unbound and free
Yet you haunt me still, so softly puppeteer
So I tear apart the strings that bind me
And attempt to forget that my heart was ever yours
Yet I remain transfixed in your direction craving more
So I declare with my words that never again will I love you
Never will you hold me and never again will I be your unmolded clay
“but in my mind I whisper every single word you say”
