Puppet Master
You snatch all my emotion
Taking away all I have
Stripping it down
And swallowing it up
In huge quantities
You tell me all your issues
I get sucked into them
Deeply involved in your
Whirling circles of
Never ending conflicts
When I tell you my problems?All I get is “It’ll be okay”?No advice or anything
Just three words
And you think your job is done
Our friendship is completely
Unbalanced, I give you all
That I have to give
You give me none back
How can you even call this a friendship?
You do these little faces
That stupid sad-smile
That makes you think you can get
Everyone into feeling sympathetic for you
When they’re all just done with you
This is what you do in life
You take away but
Never give back
This is how you lose people
Why in the end you won’t have any friends
I have no sympathy for you
Left in my heart, no empathy
After you’ve shoved everyone
Into a manipulative twisted drama
A story that’ll never end happily
?I feel bad for every person
Who comes in contact with you since
I know they’re going to become another me
Another puppet of yours to add to your
Growing collection
All lined up on a shelf
But guess what?
The numbers will decrease
Slowly you’ll have no one loyal to you anymore
No more puppets, and you’ll be alone
