A Marionette’s Ballad – A Poem

I haven’t really written anything here in a while. *shrugs*
I had to write a poem for English class, so I decided to post it here ’cause… just because. >->;
I’m not really much of a poet. x.o
Enjoy I guess.


A Marionette’s Ballad

Swirling, twirling; alluringly across the ballroom floor
She continues to dance endlessly, though her soles are truly sore
Her dark ebony curls follow every motion with grace
Deep-ocean blue eyes; a flattered smile plastered across her face
Her steps follow the rhythm of the old gramophone’s tune
The ice around her neck sparkles as she glides across the light of the moon
Beautiful, pale ivory skin
Though she is debonair, her smile is worn thin
Blood drips from the hem of her dress
Tears overflow her face, showing sadness
The invisible wires glint as she spirals under the crystal chandelier
Though she has angelic features, and her innocence in utterly sheer
No one cares; she’s nothing but a doll
Is cursed to obey her master, she’s prelude to fall
From her birth, her destiny was set
The manipulative fate of all marionettes
