i'M your fAvorite doll, you say
as i live my life in a daze.
with scarlet lips and gold eyelids drawN
-off my face you erased it all.
"you look better wIthout it anyways."
something i sPent on for so long-suddenly wiped away by your fingers purposely graze-
i was sent ablaze.
when i spoke to another boy above your wits,
it drive you crazy, just to bits.
the following day, yoU sewn your fancy thread through my Lips
thinking you hAve finally been able to seal my horrors within with the band-aid phrase of "loose lips sink ships."
today, anoTher one of your many rules I have broke
and in this mistake, a new anger i have awoke.
and On the shelf amongst the dust, i sit
as your new form of puNishment
years ago, i had pushed everyone away so there is no way for me to escape,
because why would i need saviors, when once upon a time you'd promised in these very walls i'd be safe.
