we are merely humanoid paper dolls.

counterparts straddling each other's hips;
while our breaths intertwined
and formed a beautiful canopy above where we slept that night.
21.12.17  /  10.58  / lust as a sin is stupid.

They never show
Their real emotion
While people watch
Their every motion

Everything they have
Is fake
If they'd notice
They would break

They're living in
A fake reality
They need to wake up
To actuality

We always talk
Behind their backs
If they knew
They would crack

They think we love them
They think they're pretty
But they really don't
Deserve our pity

Just so you know, I wrote a follow up to this poem that shows another aspect of pretty people. Thanks for reading :)

I remember you told me
I was like a lit candle -
Warm and soothing,
But dangerous,
When left unattended.
If I had known you’d leave,
I would’ve burned down
The house we built so
Carefully.
But when you slammed the door shut
That last time,
You put out my flame.
THE STONE WARM IN THE PALM

the stone skips
across an ocean
shatters an horizon

the wounded sun's disc
day bleeds
into night

now the skinny dipping
now the excited shouts
we dive into the moon

the moon'******br>broken with our quick nakedness
the sharp knife of youth

asia
the twinkling lights around my head dance.
all my worries are faded and gone --
i sit here thinking of a good expance
that i cannot seem to look upon.

my heart is longing for a new sounding
of a drum that seems to be too distant.
i am still hopeful that it is astounding,
without hope sanity is nonexistent.
these lines popped into my head, and with some adjustments i made them rhyme
