Effigy


My dear effigy
How I love thee
That smile as I draw a breath and wait for a reply
And as I turn my back I ask myself why

My dear effigy
That leaden gaze
Eyes like tiny marbles that show nothing of what’s inside
Only the façade and ruby lips of secrets that you hide

Effigy… effigy… effigy why do you lie to me?
I’m only trying to talk to you
Why do I even try at all?

My dear effigy
With frozen eyes
Porcelain hands; no tears to cry
You face is so dry.

Oh fake woman
Your smile smiles lifeless feeling dull destroyed dead
Why am I weeping?
