I lost a part of me
Ian ortega Mar 2019
You never complained when you were suffering.
You kept it to yourself.
And all the while I thought you were ok.
I guess I was to blame.

They saw the need to remove you from my life.
I did not see it coming.
And all the while I thought you were ok.
I guess I was to blame.

Now, I feel your loss
I feel hurt and scared.
I feel I could still move on without you...
But it is all just my pretensions.

My Three Porcelain Dolls
Ian ortega Jan 2019
One is a peasant, a miniature one to be exact.
Who had seen some better days.
All worn out and silent,
I have kept it for display.

One is blind who lost both sight,
Probably stumbled its way to a thrift shop.
The previous owner could have pushed it eyes out.
Poor lad, its eyes got filled with dollop.

Lastly the one doll I am proud,
Is a musical doll I recently picked up.
You can wind it up and leave it playing,
Until the end of the sonata unless it suddenly stops.

Doll head
Ian ortega Jan 2019
Miss Daisy is what I call her,
Having a doll, but only a head.
She never complains and she never is lonely,
Because this doll head is never alone.
When I bought her came also Miss Darlyn,
Another head for the price of one.

— The End —
