Play Me Like Your Very Own Puppet

**The Lines {This wasn't meant to happen...
His name was never supposed to show up on this screen again...} Are Taken With Permission From Fractured Twilight Librettos By BrokenReality

{This wasn't meant to happen...
His name was never supposed to show up on this screen again...}

As my eyes stare at the screen, can feel my heart beating wildly
In a nanosecond a thousand conflicting thoughts run through my mind
Wondering what to do even though deep down I already know
Strange after all this time still so easily recognize that number
Those eleven digits have me swimming in a sea of confusion

{Hello?}

Spoken so cautiously, so unsure and tinged with a little bit of spite
When there used to be nothing but love and adoration in these calls
Saddening to realize how far apart we've grown, total strangers
With each sentence spoken it's clear we detest each other
So why does this heart of mine refuse to leave your grasp?

{This wasn't meant to happen...
His name was never supposed to show up on this screen again...}

Only recently started to bury all of that hurt and agonizing pain
Forcing myself to become numb inside, only way to stop the tears
Managed to block out those emotions until the second I heard your voice
Immediately remembering the reasons why I fell in love with you
Managing to pretend each other didn't exist...why'd you have to call?

{Ironic isn't it, we left so much unsaid, yet nothing left to say}

While I wasn't over you, for already know that wont happen
Finally resigned myself to the fact we would never talk again
Painfully accepting the fact that it's never going to happen
Yet with just a few chosen words I'm almost giving in once more
Like a puppet on a strings, you've got me right where you want me

{This wasn't meant to happen...
His name was never supposed to show up on this screen again...}

After everything that's been said and done, you still have the power
For though I didn't give in, can feel my resolve weakening
All that's on my mind, those particular few words you uttered
Even though it's self destructive can't help but wonder if I was wrong
Maybe I made the wrong decision but I'm guessing it's far to late now

{You must love the fact just a phone call still gets me in this state}

If only we could go back in time, rewrite our entire history
Or knew that our love was strong enough to overcome all this
If only we could start afresh, make a whole new future for us
Such a shame we wrecked something special, can it be rectified?
Such a damn shame we can't predict the future...

{Baby, you weren't supposed to call...}

    It's good, not great. It is relatively easy to relate to, because it's hard to get over people, obviously. But this poem has been done so many times, I'm surprised I finished reading it. Subject matter aside, I like the way most of it worked together to create... almost a sense of darkness (?) I don't know if it was supposed to or not. Here and there though it's like you use words that aren't exactly right for context and it makes me unsure if you know what they mean or just like the sound. If anything, you're on your way. Keep writing! 4/5

    I agree with the other commentators that this poem is really easy to relate to. I was a little confused at the beginning btu I was also instantly pulled in. I really felt that panic and emotion. Thanks for a great read!

    I really liked this poem. I can really relate to it. The emotions shown through out the whole poem are great. Everything about this poem is great. The flow is strong through out and the wording was great and different. I have not read a poem quite like this one. I gave it a 5/5.
