Mourning After
It was a brisk autumn morning
When I woke up to tears
It drowned me without warning
And bleed my ears with fears
What caused the weeping I wondered
When did the woe flow in this waterfall
Why was this woman uncolored?
Where did they make this life-like doll?
It was no mirror but she looked quite familiar
As my mother shook it screaming it had no tune
Sister seems touched the doll and began to shiver
Everyone in the room werewolves calling the moon
How could a doll cause such woe?
I questioned till I saw the wrist below
The art I created with my razor
Had lost the paint to the blanket caper
I smiled, then I laughed at the irony
My wrist colored red to relieve the isolation
Yet here they are, woven in this agony
All because I gave into stupid temptation
I’m sorry; I’m sorry
I began to weep
I thought I opened the door to relieve
But all I did was let in remorseful grief
