puppets on a string // l a r r y

we fought for our love

and for the truth.

the unbreakable bond,

we've found in our youth.

we waited, for months,

i stood by your side,

i wiped your tears from

when you cried.

i was left broken,

you were too.

silenced and controlled,

our tragic story,

left untold.

you're not okay

and neither am i.

i know it hurts you,

when i have to lie.

but our love is forbidden,

we cant be free.

now there is an empty space next to me,

a sad reminder of where you used to be.
