A BROKEN DOLL
Do you remember
Words spoken in haste,
Cursing, wounds opening hate?
Feel the fire
In my skin as I lay,
Waiting, hoping for your touch today.
I rise, I fall, I swear i am drunk.
I make demands that you never thought of.
We sing, we dance, we dream, we fall
But oh know that I am a broken doll.
Do you remember the rains
Fall, yes fall on our bodies.
Watch the birds flutter away, so free.
Feel the wind ruffle our hair
Like lemon grass rustling in the harmattan.
I smile, I talk, I swear i am drunk.
I touch the nape of your neck with my tongue
But you do not turn.
We fold into ourselves like rumpled cloth
But know this, I am but a broken doll.
Do you remember the vows
Broken like doors pulled apart
In a storm?
You shut the doors to my face
But my heart in your pocket
Feels your heart mourn my absence.
Remember the kisses and music,
The caresses and movies.
I drink, I smoke, I miss you so
But you've always known
That I am a broken doll.
