face-down on ypur pillow,
a sponge for sadness
it's only a picture
and it shouldn't hurt
as much as it does
but you don't control
anything, including your emotions
it's all fun and games
while you're talking to her
in person, laughing about
milk and pizza rolls
it's all fun and games
while you're
listening to music that
plays and plays and plays
only because of her hands'
interaction
you play and play and play
because of her hands,
but the puppetmaster stops
her movements, drops your
strings and carries another
you're face-down,
and you can't see
their fun and games
