"The Marionette"

"The Marionette"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

You sit there saying nothing

but still I can read

Your every irritation

The things that put you ill at ease

II

You smile and you nod

You wink and you laugh

The object of all adoration

The little prim,proper doll

III

Yet in those quiet eyes

They tell me to take you away

An unheard sigh

So loud when you walk my way

IV

Should I listen to these?

These improper thoughts of mine

Should I?

Should I let you die?

V

You sit there saying nothing

Quiet at last

Forever the Doll

Silence by a Love.
