MARIONETTE
Lethargy...
A split in the sides
Acid membranes
Boil my insides
Scalding rain
Waterfall of I
That only I behold
As it drains into nigh
Too tired to feel
Tethered to the day
Dance, marionette
Until your threads fray
Dance...

This one hooked me (pardon the pun), as I really appreciated the fusion of balanced rhyme scheme and the way you formatted your stanzas. I think it fit your theme well to have it so pleasing to the eye on the surface while the words within trace a deep darkness. I kind of imagine a slow, orchestral Master-of-Puppets soundtrack to this. I'll be reading more of your work for sure.
