The little strings tied to my limbs,
----Annoy me------so,
Pull that------And I am pushed there,
--------smile------,
again? --------,
Keep me hanging ------,
Upon the -,
sliver of thread------,
----false potential?---,
-indeed----,
Then again --- so!
Withhold your smile,
-----your tear----,
-----And little look,
Cut - Slice - Sever,
Those -----,
----little strings,
Holding me,
----far above---,
- the heart of darkness,
----watch me-,
falling,
Smooth ---- rock,
Surrounds----cool emptiness,
---I fly in ecstasy-,
Down the unknown pit-----------------------------

If  Smooth rock,Surrounds cool emptiness was removed I think it would make it a better poem =)
