Give me caramel hair with golden honey streaks
to accent aloe eyes smiling above coral lips
before you paint my face in cosmetics
in allowance for you to cut me a body
hugging red wine dress with tea leaf embroidery
glimmering until it meets sheer lace trim skimming
cucumber grass beneath my vanilla bare feet
as I wonder into the candy apple threshold of my
gingerbread house to gobble down your
luscious forbidden sweets in mocking satisfaction
like me filling your sweet tooth starving to eat me
alive until nothing's left, but a hollowed me to be...
your paper doll.
