Marionette

Forgotten
Hollow and dangling
Hanging by a few strings
Wooden smile
Staring with blank eyes
Once lively with the feeling of existence
But now forgotten and lonely
Tattered limbs falling from their joints
Grasping to a thread
The old string gives way
Falling
Tangled body lies
Lifeless and hollow
The blank stare, the wooden smile, the tattered limbs
Heaped and mangled on the floor
