i'm no puppet

Just the other night when you were here in my bed,

The love we made….the tears we shed

Did you take me for a fool, was I your momentary project;

Pulling my strings…wanting me to speak your language, smile only for you,

So did I please you;

was I just what you needed for the time being?

I hope you’ve had fun, because I’ve grown tired.

I’m no puppet; you see...I have feelings not strings;

I have a heart; not cotton stuffing…

Don’t be so surprised that I’m turning and walking away;

I’m no puppet.

I was drawn in by the title, as puppeteering has been part of recent
conversations, so it pulled me right in.. by the strings... lol.

Not exactly what I was expecting, though in the same theory
family. Being under the control of another. I agree with Mike,
your flow is outstanding! The entire piece is great.. :)

I love this! I see how a goodbye has made you a stronger person.

Sometimes relationships become habits that don't compliment our life at all.

Very well written. You don't hold back any punches and express yourself well. I miss reading your work.
