Swing marionette
​I became a grave,
without a headstone to bear a name,
without a body to mourn.
​A swing suspended in your hands,
caught between the sky of your love
and the earth of your hatred.
An in and out, of inhaling hopes and
unleashing cries.
​But who cares about a marionette?
They see only the innocence
that the show conveys.
​But the truth is revealed
only to those like me,
who believed the promise:
In my hands, you are the soul.
