BABY DOLL

they say stay strong

and i tried

but hearts stray and betray pride

 

a thousand nights

held you as you slept

counted your breaths

and the beats in your chest

my lullabies because i loved you

 

but your hands never meant

to ever be held

you pushed me away

affections forgotten

for the freedom in a strangers touch

confidence consumed you

as the door closed tight behind you

 

i stayed and waited

for you to hunger for the love

missing between us

hourglass somersaults the days passed

 

no love you’ve come to look for but

your every secret mine

hunger brings your knocks

my door locked i must decide

to turn the key let you come inside and see

if i can resist the skin and the kiss

of my precious pandora

 

yes

i see your white dress

your baby doll lips

and bedroom eyes

my favorite fascination

so i seccumb

to the jasmine scent

of lovers skin

 

my breath warm across your neck

my mouth made

to trace your shape

familiar friends fondest games

and so we play

 

no love left to be made

i take the delicate shape

the perfect petals of my baby girl

and i **** you

my long walk out of eden

 

and so my knees find the floor

and your hands hold on tight

and your sounds fill the room

and i ignore the tears

 

they say stay strong and i tried
