Puppeteer

I hit my knees and scream your name
looking for escape
but you are deaf you don't hear me

like some demented puppeteer
do you like to watch me scream
How many times i've walked away until
you pulled my string

It's agony this game we play
this back and forth this pleasure/pain

but I've news for you
I've cut my strings
no more will I dance for thee

I am not your pretty marionette
wanting waiting on a shelf
until you are all by yourself

no more for you
I will smile
while you play me for a while

No more for you I will dance
twisting on your string
