you
are s.t.i.t.c.h.e.d perfection in my head
a
golden statue made of lead
the
neon threads that hold you tight
are
made to glow sharp in the night
your
lips are s.e.w.n shut to hide the wounds
caused
by Death's own tongue when he made you swoon
your
eyes are c l o s e d to hide that which you've lost and loved
a
service contracted by those whom away you shoved
your
heart was s.t.a.p.l.e.d together by crude hands
the
Devil himself found little joy when he wrought the
bands
when
faced with dark things you laugh out loud
and
stand with s.t.i.t.c.h.e.s and creamy skin out from the
crowd
your
breath is of rotten roses and your eyes of deadened amber
your
smile was painted on with tatoos and some s u t u r e s
you're
my one and only darlin' doll
my
baby pride and my ego tall
so
whisper slowly in my ear all the things i hate to hear
whisper
in that hole in my head all the things i've learned to f e a r
(my
secret love, my mate once hidden
i
love you my one and only mannequin)
