Doll.

Happiness bereft leaves kisses on your doorstep

And bloodstains on you door

Cynicism says what's the point in keeping faith

When all around are losing theirs

 

Poisoned silence pierces the night

With screams of treachery

Whilst resiliance finally relents

Deciding it's not worth the fantasy

 

The Doll is closing in

Trying to speak

She has no words for me

The walls are falling down

Heavy and betrayed

Demolished by the Doll

And her hate.

 

 

Reviews

[Kara Emily Krantz]

this is a great piece. it brought up a lot of feelings in me - fear, disillusion, anger, hope.... the whole gamut. this is really well done, your word choices were great, and i loved the concise brevity of it

So this is from one of your bands songs? I LIke it, the way it flows and the way it's written words used as poison darts. Nicely done = )
