don't undress my love
you might find a mannequin:
don't undress the mannequin
you might find
my love.
she's long ago
forgotten me.
she's trying on a new
hat
and looks more the
coquette
than ever.
she is a
child
and a mannequin
and death.
I can't hate
that.
she didn't do
anything
unusual.
I only wanted her
to.

Comments1Wow, this one really hit me hard. Kinda made me think a lot about my own experiences. It's amazing how much we can learn from such simple words. Sure brings up some feelings. Makes me think both of love lost and the hope for something new. Really different but I kinda liked it.
