Pinocchio Girl
Mercedes Gomez 2005 (North Carolina)
Eyes to his preferred
Hair to his preferred
Lips and nose to his preferred
Legs and breasts too
The perfect toy
Even with a temper he couldn’t be mad at pinocchio girl
She was so idle and perfect, all to his likings
She tried to please him, becoming just as a doll, performing a story
Eventually'
Though years worn, and skin torn
Her beauty faded like a worn toy of remorse
Suddenly he could be mad at poor pinocchio girl
Suddenly he no longer found the sight in pinocchio girl
she was just a marker of the past
Looming on the shelf whilst he and his new pinocchio girl laughed and danced
Although the poor pinocchio girl tried to leave, to forget this world of greed
He stopped her, promising this place would be of no more unfust
He fixed her up, painting her porcelain face
Once again a beauty
Even so the poor pinocchio girl still suffered
All she could hear at night was the laughing on the phone and the muffled
“I love you” ‘s
Her face salty and wet, poor pinocchio girl had to leave
She gathered up her things, took off her makeup
Changed her contacts
And left
Leaving him and her.
She was then free.
About this poem
Being made to fit a place. Then being downgraded for someone else, what it's like to be cheated on.
