I devoted my time
To a porcelain painting
Crafted delicately
Quiet as a mimeBlood blushed cheeks
Dead darling eyes
Sick smooth skin
Demon dancing lipsNot beautiful enough
But it was pretty good
At shadowing the truth
As it shouldThe moment I went to place
On my new, manipulative face
It broke into pieces of plastic shards
On which I dance atop for yards
