paper doll


your hands control my perfectly

smooth and perforated little world


my words are your words

my thoughts are your thoughts


I go where you go and no-one else ever has to know


if I have been a good girl

you surprise me with a fashionable hat or dress,

whisper sweet nothings, or even promises of a shiny new tomorrow


but if you suddenly change your mind,

our love can quickly come to a standstill


you see I am merely a commodity, a fantasy,

something to pass the time


cut my hair, poke holes in my eyes,

toss me aside or set my whole body ablaze


for I am just a paper doll

and my dear you are holding

a pair of scissors in one hand

and a lighter in the other
