The Lion's Book: A Poetry Collection

The Glass Doll

She glows, warmth emits from her body,

radiating like the morning sun,

when she blossoms for another,

another who cares.

Her face a powdered ivory shadowed

by calmest amber eyes and lightened lips

which curve upwards like the brightest

and truest crescent moon.

Only wanting to soak in affection,

to bask in l'amour only they can give,

she yearns for them like a rose

longs for the light of her Sun.

But when the rose's Sun must part for another

it wails and wilts in sorrow, heart torn in two;

as the porcelain girl once strong reveals to be fragile glass,

sans amour.

 

A/N: "L'amour" means "love" in French, and "sans amour" means "without love" in French.
