Emotional Fool

This insignificance has got on me.
I cant turn a single head
as I enter the room.
I'm your emotional fool.
Playing cool with what I used to dread.
Or maybe just pretending to play cool.

Playing hide and seek with my tears
You play with me.
You're my puppetteer.
I cry when you pull the strings.
Hold my tears back,
obeying your will.
I'm your emotional fool.
Dressed to please.
Dancing when you want me to.

I dance to your tunes.
Dress myself as and when you want me to.
Draining the blood of the wounds
That I bled
For you.
I'm your emotional fool.
Dancing with the flow.
Still residing inside what you've left dead.
Screaming to let go.

I like the ending... Actually the whole last stanza's great, well done.
"I dance to your tunes"

"You play with me.
You're my puppetteer."

I second the both girls here, but especially the "You're my puppetteer" got me :D
