I Won't Be Your Puppet

I don't want to be your puppet anymore

         We two together have grown tired of us

I’m serious...

         we’ve become intolerable flaws to one another          

Struggling with old hurts and words not spoken

          I thought I’d learned to deal with your inability to apologize…

accepting the agony of how you were...and are

 

                 But…

Why should I continue to go there?

         No...I don't want to be your puppet any more

obscuring the hypocrisy of your love

         jumping to your demands…

hungering for your promises that are seldom kept

         finding you in misplaced emotions

 

I don't want to go on as a sad faced, princess puppet

        This isn't what I thought I'd be

a girl wrapped in strings pulled by you

        spending my life dangling by threads

as someone who dances to your whims

        with all this miscommunication

of words left unsaid

        of how things should or should not be

You watch sports and all the news in this world without end

              But...

      you don’t see me

My yearning for you has gone away at this address

      You seem to be in another country…

but not in my world

It’s all faded away

        I'm disappointed with you

Everything's been broke open now…

        all lines have been crossed 

Scissors snap, the strings fall 

        You lost the game

        You lost this dame

Very nice piece! Lovely analogies, and all of love's flaws detailed by your words. Well done.
