you're just his puppet

balancing on a string of make-believe and beautiful fairytales

.

you're the pretty face

perched on his arm

the respectable wife where your sister really ought to be

you're the beautiful smiles && effortless laughter

the

pureblood

aristocratic

perfect

t

.

they watch you

(not the dead look in his eyes)

so you're the perfect puppet

(to hide the cracks that will one day break you apart)

.

sometimes you hate it

(he might love you, but is it worth it?)

sometimes you just want to scream

but you play the obedient puppet

because you love him

&& you could never let him go

.

to see the happiness light up his face

(only slightly fake)

it makes you smile

&& then it's so much easier to play his puppet

because he really does love you

&& you really do love him
