THE STAND IN DOLL

THE STAND IN DOLL

I  am the one 
The replacement
For every man that protests
To her
His undying love
Beyond his conviction

I am the one
She will see  , as faceless ?
To only personify this doll
With the reclusions that
She chases
 
The endless times she has  cried
The endless times she has tried
The endless questions
Of what is love
Concluding to why

She will transform this , into anger 
A sentenced to their conviction
Only this faceless doll is here
 A Stand in for their places

She has to resolve her
Vengeance
Her anger
She will inflict upon
This doll
Because she see their faces

Dear Press

Wonderfully written and sad in a way, like being second choice. I have felt that way many years ago. I enjoyed this, love lyz. XX
