live life with no regrets

as they rip me up from the roots
my skeleton becomes bare-
exposing the remains of a kindred soul
that has unwillingly fallen to its’ knees

pull my strings
my solemn puppeteer
make me dance for you
until the threads become frayed

but what happens then
do you loosen this knot
or simply place me on an alter
hoping those ropes will have me choke

call my name gently
and you will hear a forlorn moan
with the faint sound of trumpets playing
in a world that is no longer pure
