To say that you love me would make me an Ersatz being, A substitute An inferior entity woven like nylon; Over And Over, To be used as a shirt. Nothing more than to cover another's body To hide them in synthetic fibres, A spurious masks. I never get tired of the perpetual winding Of untrue nature. I am unsound like polyester, No soft cotton. Unpick my threads Each stitch as rough as my skin. Pull out my stuffing And cut through my back. Throw me to the side. Then buy a new doll.

Polyester and Nylon
To say that you love me would make me an Ersatz being, A substitute An inferior entity woven like nylon; Over And Over, To be used as a shirt. Nothing more than to cover another's body To hide them in synthetic fibres, A spurious masks. I never get tired of the perpetual winding Of untrue nature. I am unsound like polyester, No soft cotton. Unpick my threads Each stitch as rough as my skin. Pull out my stuffing And cut through my back. Throw me to the side. Then buy a new doll.
