Make me your mannequin.
An elaborate series of strings;
Controlling my every move.
Each tug, a heartbeat;
Feeling tight.
Brittle as ice;
Yet, so tenderly.
You dance me around this veranda.
Never letting me rest,
I sway on each beat
Creating an elegant mood,
Never felt before.
Unfortunately, I lay here.
Watching the sky turn
From night to day,
Strings lying limp.
I’d wished too much.
Each joint cold;
Frozen;
Oh, how do I miss those days.
On that marble balcony;
