• Covered by darkness,
    Hidden from sight,
    Forgotten from mind,
    A marionette dances toward oblivion.

    All she needs is for someone to come,
    Someone to free her from her loneliness
    Those delicate chains of sorrow

    Softly, gently, slowly,
    His gaze took in all
    Her dancing form,
    Strings pulled by an unseen world.

    Patiently he waited.
    She felt his gaze,
    Trembled under his smile.

    Slowly, she fell.
