    You play with my head,
    Destroying me with your mind games,
    Pulling the strings to what I think,
    Telling me what you want me to hear.
    I listen with open ears,
    Mouth shut,
    Yearning to understand,
    To hear more that you have to say.
    I am your puppet,
    You pull the strings,
    I do not know what to think any more.
    Head full of lies,
    Heart stitched and mended,
    More times than worth the count,
    And yet I continue.
    I let you pull,
    I let you control,
    This is my fault,
    Captured in your beauty,
    I see no other way.
    Knowing better but no escaping,
    I am lost forever in my ways,
    Held by lies,
    And destroyed by beauty.

    lies, heart, beauty, love... all different but all aligned. I liked the imagery that youve created. Sydney

    The mind knows what you should do but the heart rules your direction. Trapped by beauty. Excellent write.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
