Paper Crane
I am
A paper crane
Merely
A motionless puppet
Only moving
When your fingers
Control the strings
Attached to my
Lifeless wings
Darkness
Lingers upon the shadow cast
From the light
Spilling
Upon the hard wood floor
Masks of black
Swaying on a face
Twisted by deception
I swing
On the thread of existence
Watching your eyes
Once filled with joy
Fade into a bleak
Obscurity
I try to comfort you
But cannot
As I am dead
To those eyes
