Prom Doll

All dolled up
But not like a doll at all
She has the dress,
Lace, corset, heels, gloves,
Lipstick, eyeliner, mascara
But not like a doll at all.

She lied there broken
Arms across the sofa
Legs bent oddly
Just like a doll.

But not like a doll at all
Tears dried. No makeup
No more pretty to hide behind
She is no doll.

Slow breathing.
No doll.
Rapid heartbeat.
No doll.
Tear stained face.
No doll.
But just like a doll

Her feelings spilled over.
No lake
Just dry
Just like a doll
But not like a doll
at all.
