Doll

I look at a past self

Pondering what made me believe

I was like a doll on a shelf

He knew that

He saw that

Yet he did more then just look


He grabbed my doll off where it sat

Playing with the hair that lay

He felt the cheeks

Brushing his thumb over the porcelin

As he speaks

Silence was heard


He stroked down the arm

As he reached the hand

No stopping was seen

He brushed against the thighs

Moving upwards where he had been

Lips brushed against the skin


His hand lay on the chest

The doll not saying a word

Its lips stayed sealed

The dolls eyes blurred

His hands grubbied the porcelin

From when it was clear


He then placed the doll back

Its face grubby and its eyes sore

He left without another word

Leaving something he once bore

The doll only sat
