my feet are playdough
you carve my toes into a rose
something to brighten the dark wooden dresser
in your bland bedroom
i found my heels on the snowman in your backyard
did you run out of buttons to give it eyes!
my right arm is now a twisted twizzler mouth
stamped into pure snow;
did you paint my flesh with the blood that ran between my legs?
i didn’t know brittle bones can bend
but anything for you, i guess
will you please stop dancing
in the ballrooms of my brain
i’m so tired of watching you slide across the parquet
while i’m busy grappling with a half-baked memory
in my bleeding brain
did you make glitter
out of my tears
and bottle my cries
to use as a laughing bag
on your saddest nights
did the sparkly polish
on the tips of my fingers
taint the darkness of your greed
and did my tinkling laughter
awaken the deadness of your soul
maybe if it did
you wouldn’t have done what you did
if you did
