(I don't own Pokemon. Warning: A very murderous Banette we have on our hands here...)

Marionette

As I lie here
In this trash can
I stare up at the heavens
Making eye contact with the garbage man

He shivers once or twice
In unmistakable fear
Before tossing me in the back
And driving to the garbage plant that is near

While I lie and wait
For the immanent crushing of the truck
I wonder when it was
When I ran out on luck

My thoughts turn to you
The one who put me in this state
The one who carelessly tossed me aside
The one who led me to this fate

I think of your eyes
Bright and full of life
Compared to my own
Glassy and full of strife

I remember your short locks
Compared to my long stringy hair
That was once brushed so tenderly
With love and care

I imagine your fingers running through my hair
One finger brushing against my now tattered dress
As you placed me in the garbage bag
With the rest of your mess

You used to play with me everyday
You knew how to pull my strings
To make me play your little game
To make me dance and sing

My strings are now tangled
My voice box is gone
My dress is torn
Do you realize what you've done?

When I no longer entertained you
And I would trip and crash
You threw me away
Like yesterday's trash

The truck has stopped
The man gets off and heaves some more
Piles of garbage on top of me
Burying me in peels and apple cores

He pushes a button
The truck is about to crush me
I may be smiling on the outside
But I'm really scared of what I see

I don't want to die!
I want to be free!
To escape from this dreadful place!
There's a world I want to see!

I think of you once more
And I can't help but hope
To see you one last time
Hanging from a rope

It comes down on top of me
I wish I could scream
So that I could wake myself
From this awful dream

As I lay broken here
I suddenly feel my soul
Dark and hard
As black as coal

I will myself to situp
I look down in shock
There's my body!
Wedged between some newspapers and a rock

I look at my reflection
In a puddle of juice
I blink in confusion
Is this some kind of ruse?

My body is see-through
All covered in black
A spiky orange ball
Running in a plait down my back

My eyes glow a menacing yellow
And I can't help but grin
At this chance God has given me
Even though I'm some kind of sin

I am filled with revenge
Burning with eternal hate
I want to find you
And when I do it will be too late

When I finally do find you
You don't even recognize me
I laugh at your apparent fear
As you scream at what you see

I latch onto you so you can't run away
You can scream all you might
It won't make any difference
I've got all night

For you see, I want to play
A little game of my own
I want to watch and take pleasure
As you cry and moan

I want to show you what its like
To be someones puppet
In a manner quite similar
To a little Shuppet

I pull and move your new strings
As you jerk about and contort
I am laughing hysterically
As you move up and down the alley court

And when I'm finally bored
Just as you had done,
I will throw you away
And your life will be gone

This may be cruel
This may be crossing the line
But I was once your toy
And now you are mine

Do you remember me now?
I was once your little marionette
But then I died at your hands
And my soul now lives on as Banette
