On Behalf of Dying Dolls

lilac,
pretty faces yet raggedy,
your scars align magnificiently,
softly caressing your skin,
afternoon lights shone on your wrinkles
its so serene to see you walk,
walk with a thousand cuts
on behalf of dying dolls.

(truth)

incarnadine,
mysterious.
a little time till you learnt to love your curves,
shut them down (screams echo in your head)
STOP. they do.
you overcame the harm
on behalf of dying dolls

(truth)

peach,
mellow.
of mannered and decent but you’re unhinged, crazed in a charming way because,
that is what makes you, human.
you stand for those almost gone
on behalf of dying dolls.

(truth)

merlot,
let your dying dolls and dieties flourish again,
sipping tea, sophisticated,
hold your cup anyways because you’re
you.

you are formidable.
still not extinct
stand with every flaw
you, the specimen of conviction,
on behalf of dying dolls.
