My Porcelain Wish

Seeping madness drips from the walls

clearing the halls

waking the dolls

 

Darkness tingles the hair and the head

but the eyes glisten brightly

the teeth invisible but present.

 

Shall we dance

 

they beckon to me in the dark

pulling me in with a transparent twine

hardly an easy thing to unwind

 

smiles are staring me down and they seem,

to be an unwelcome and deathly greeting

 

Quiet, no speaking will happen again

 

these are the rules

to them we must bend

the twine turns to thread

I think I am dead

 

The tiniest one climbs out of her hole

eyes still wide open

lips unchanging.

 

I notice up close that she has a thin cord wrapped around her eyes

tied into her lips

 

she has an evil glint in the tint of her eyes

I realize that I have the same color eyes.

 

Wide with horror, my eyes, they were

then I realize that her

the porcelained skinned

had grabbed the thread

and weaved it into a needle

 

I tried to run but I was restrained by others around.

They held my eyes open and kept my mouth shut

they wiped away my tears so the thread would not dampen

then she approached me.

 

Thats when the pain began

when i was lost in my insane dreamland.

 

When I was pierced in several places

the grip on me tightened

the eyes on me locked

 and when I awoke my eyes could not shut.

 

my skin was of glass

and my lips were of stone,

my eyes were of something that to me is unknown.

 

I could not cry

 I could not sleep,

I could not pray for my soul to keep.

 

I could not stop my forced, painful smile.

In a while I'll be in denial.

 

My hair was twine, my clothes were changed,

I'd lost it all in just one day.

 

If you touched me I'd feel no pain,

I'd have gone insane.

I would need no rain.

 

 I dreaded this fiercely but now i can see,

truthfully,

this is what I'd wished for in my dreams

a place that I can not be treated so indifferently.

 

Be careful what you wish for.

This is amazing and quite interesting I must say.
This is a very well written write. I like this.

[E. R. Rawding]

Really good, but you might want to work on your word choice. "Eyes" is extremely overused :)

[maryjaneuy]

I love this. I like the last line, "Be careful what you wish for"
I remember the PCD's song.. when I grow up. "Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it." haha. thanks for sharing!

[rockinmiley555]

this is interesting. the end is very.... not what i was expecting.(thats a good thing haha) i really liked how, in the beginning, it didnt make sense and i wondered what you were thinking at the time... and then the one sentance "be careful what you wish for" pulled it all together. it certainly explains a great detail in life and teaches a very useful lesson that most of us will try to learn, yet get it wrong on accident anyways. i REALLY loved this one :)


♥ keep writing ♥
