papercut, it rips
stitched lips
a mug of lost
here or to go?
seciov voices
snow trodding on footprints
button eyes
bleary drips
God,
i am lost, i fear
i don't know why i'm here
who?
there's a doll, it's true
it is strewn a tear
across breathing fears
it has button eyes
and stitched lips
beside a
mug of lost
here or to go?
