I am in need of a friend

All I could come up with in the end

Was to cook one up myself

A couple of books off my shelf

A character’s smile, another’s eyes

One’s truth and another’s lies

Birthed from a movie and gown up in another

3 sisters, yes and maybe one brother

Next I stir in religious devotion

And a drop of utmost loyalty, maybe a little obedience

I’m nearly there, one final ingredient

Life, where shall I find life to breathe into my puppet?

How will I push that final button?

I travelled and searched and strived in vain

My friend must remain

Lifeless, simply singing to me in the end

“I need a friend”.
