Plastic doll
I blink my eyes
Fluttering my curvy lashes
My sigh-worthy, limpid
Fake pools of desire.
My perpetual
Red-lipped, toothy smile
Teases and invites
Insipid fires.
My cheap plastic hands
Are servile and inviting
With chipped helpless nails
Painted to perfection
My legs are long;
Peaking breasts
Curved without a crease
Smooth, endless, synthetic.
Then i was plastic
Now i am broken
Lying unused
A tattered token.
