Showgirl

why would you do this to me?

I'm a good girl,
I do as I'm told,
and I thought I was yours
to have and to hold.

my skin is pale and cold,
the ripping pain gives no token,
you can still break a heart
already broken.

and every word unspoken,
behind makeup and curls,
have left me weary
in white and pearls.

my mind is untouchable,
whose sobs did I choke for?
let me rest now
and for evermore.

    A poem of pain and with a dark ending. Nicely written with good flow. Well done

  • NinjaGirl

    Dressed us up like a doll, only to take it all. How much longer until it's over? A question wondered but never dared to utter.
