Salt covered trails
That dug deep into the soles
Of my feet
Burn and stung like knives
Causing them to bleed
You watched me
With eyes like rippling rain
And a heart that roared
Like a thunderstorm
You came close to me
With eagerness
Carefully...
Lifting my Lifeless body
Like a precious antique doll
Carefully...
Taking me to your sacred place
Polishing me with your own hands
Caressing me with delicate fingers
Brushing off the dust
That clouded the inner beauty
That once carried a lustrous shine
You have adored.
You polished the blind eyes
That saw nothing but blurred images
Taken her Lifeless hand
Showering them in kisses
You stroked her face carefully
In the palm of your hand
And gave her cold lips a kiss
Hoping to gain that life back
Inside her
Taking in that long lost perfume
Lacing her locks of hair
In between your fingertips
Brushing out the knots
Delicately...
She longs for escape
Wants to be freed
And truly smile without regret
Her soul still cased inside this doll
With a living spirit that cries for love
So please...
Seek out this lonely doll...
And free her...
From her prison-like coffin.
