Just a Pile of Sticks and String

"Just a Pile of Sticks and String" 

~ ~ ~ 

I never lied 

Never did I cheat 

I was there beside you 

Facing any defeat 

~ 

I held on 

You knew that I cared 

You knew that I loved 

I always was there 

~ 

Offered my support 

In every way that I could 

I stood beside my partner 

Because I knew that I should 

~ 

Taking on your burdens 

As if they were mine 

Because I knew together 

We would be fine 

~ 

I never once questioned 

Or demanded explanation 

For any our troubling 

Situations 

~ 

But in the end 

I was just your fool 

The one there when you needed 

All you had to do was pull 

~ 

Well your marionette is lifeless 

Just a pile of sticks and string 

That shivers now and then from the images 

The nightmares bring 

.
