Clockwork-Love

You touch my cheek And, feeling tears, You pull away immediately You lie back and let me stumble Through words I have no experience with You lay passive and Don't touch me 'Cause I'm supposed to be your doll And Dolls don't cry You snarl at me from the other room Easy words fall from your lips And hit me hard You withdraw and clutch your throat When I've had enough and have my say I'm not supposed to react because I'm a doll Dolls don't cry So I'll sit in my corner Still and silent And do nothing but Gather dust I won't blink Lips won't twitch Breast won't rise Heart won't beat Because I'm a doll Dolls don't cry They shatter

When you bite me, leave bruises. I want to be able to run my fingers over them later. I want to make the pain linger. If I died tomorrow, and died without scars, What proof would there be that I was ever in your arms? I'm marked in soul, and marked in mind, So mark my body too before you leave me behind.
