Calla doll

All those lost nights,

Waiting for nothing to save me.

In this cold shell,

A casket in it’s own way.

Pale and empty,

A porcelain doll of displacement.

Eyes so cold,

That nothing i saw could dismay.

Left in silence,

In hollow and empty salvation.

Nothing for me,

But a calla lily in hand.

Sad though it seems,

I’m saved from utter destruction.

From the one who sends dolls to their grave.

This abandonment is the the truest peace.
