I'M Not His Doll Poem by Melissa Black

I'M Not His Doll

Rating: 5.0


Rotting in my heart-shaped box,
he took me out to play with him.
Twirling in a cornicopia of lace and ribbon,
short skirts and dirty fantasies.

Playing turned into kissing,
kissing turned into touching,
touching turned into...stop!
Stop turned into heartbreak,
and heartbreak hailed destruction.

But destruction brought specialists,
who wanted to 'help' me out of the black bottomless pit.
He knew it would happen like this,
he did it on purpose.
He wanted to kill me.
So who's crazy now?

I really like the imagery here, as it is very vivid...I enjoyed its feministic overtones. My automatic jukebox went off, too: 'Doll Parts' by Hole and 'Coin-Operated Boy'...so apparently my whole brain likes it. Good job!

Far more maudlin than I am apt to care for but it is construed adequately nonetheless.
