I am a puppet. Long, thin strings emerge from the back of my hands and legs. "Go this way." "Go that way." "Love me."

You control how I move. How I talk. How I love. I do not love you. I cannot love you... I am a puppet. I cannot love.

I am a puppet. Controlled by you. Moved by you, talking, because of you. Loving you.

I do not wish to move in this way. I do not wish to move in that way.
I do not wish to love you.
But I have no choice, for I, am a puppet.
