Mannequin

Mannequin

.

Right beneath the starlit sky,

We reminisce about our lives.

You sing to me sweet lullabies,

While nightmares lurk upon your eyes.

.

A gentle breeze then chills my skin,

I feel your warmth so deep within.

Your arms protect me from these sins,

But then I’m just a mannequin.

.

Just a pawn who’s simply placed,

The same expression, same blank face.

Disguised apart from my blank slate,

You set me up and seal my fate.

.

My shadow grows and grows so fast,

The moonlight’s dice have just been cast.

The world moves onward from its past,

While I still choke beneath your grasp.

.

Frozen darkness turns blindingly bright.

No more tension or endless fights.

Smiling I walk into your sight.

Your eyes glow deathly beautiful light.
