The Doll is Waiting
Blanketing the ground, sugar-like snow…
… Atop a dead branch, a dark and disturbing crow.
… Not a person in sight for kilometers.
Not even small or big critters…
Eyes of the Doll shine with the color of tears-
It looks outside, no one cares.
Its smile is a line that stays like a permanent marker-
Keeps her intact like glue, but it’s not a happy mark.
Thread-like and dyed to the color of caramel,
Hair of the Doll flows down like a waterfall.
Its face resembles a cherub’s and cuteness swells,
Shows patience yet anxiety emerges from within, in all.
Red roses make the Doll’s dress-
Smells like honey and cherries.
Its rainbow-colored shoes made to impress-
They are the shade of berries.
The Doll waits for something-
What is this one thing?
It debates if it will come-
Settles to wait a some.
Monster eats at the Doll-
From the inside of its heart to its semblance.
It beats the Doll senseless-
The monster will never go away at all.
Monster eats the Doll,
Walls move closer and closer to it.
The Doll’s mind discloses negative thoughts-
They make the Doll doubt if it will come and rots.
… It left.
It gave in to its mind and the monster,
But the walls did not daunt her.
The Doll stood up and walked away,
Like a worker quitting his job at bay.
It could not keep waiting for it.
What did the Doll wait for?
