you and me

settled in a playhouse

you play the prince,

and I the clown

you dangle your dolls,

as my neck croaks

unable to breathe

with my dangling limbs

yearning to stay in the air,

stars dazzling my eyesight .

the jingling bells

trembling on my fools cap

entertain and deceive all

though you easily turn to porcelain

i fall from grace,

everytime you’re near.

shattering my bells

for your breath to be my anchoring lacquer

i hate you

control you seize

the humanity you force into my being

i am trapped in the dollhouse

you call

love.
