Doll Bride

They said I was easy to hurt

like a doll

it's easy you know

to tamper with my limbs

you can make me wear strings

make me wear only skin

create strings with my hair

then say

I cannot feel

I am obsolete

I am not human

I am just a bride

Pretty as a Rose

a Rose that has thorns

that can be plucked

petals too

all peeled

naked

juicy

chaste

corruptible

by thine

lust

I am a bride

I am a bride

I wear petals and thorns

only

some you can't see

some you can't hear

but I am but bones stitched to flesh

just a bride

just a doll

to be forever

plucked
