Paper Doll

Little girl, blonde and speckled-

Thirteen, ready to unfold.

Perfect, shining adolescent

Roseleaf princess breaks the mold.

Little woman hides a secret

beneath the smallish newfound breast

Keeps a wounded child all covered

red and purple-pinkish flesh

Little bird, in darkness dying

hides the scars from prying eyes

Makes two from one to be less lonely

The ever-voice, the star, her guide.

Little girl, alone and angry

Getting rid of all she is

Twisting until there is nothing

Charlie found her, she is his

The paper doll, she once was mine

We claimed each other from the start

I left her lonely on the doorstep

Crying out-I broke her heart.

Now she sucks the dust up, lung-ward

My memory child, with toes all curled-

She fills herself until she’s empty-

Little girl in a little world.
