Sally
(Character from Nightmare Before Christmas)
Man-made creation,
woman of fabric and thread.
You who sew your arm, your leg,
back together so easily
as if they were nothing,
not your skin and bone,
what makes up your very existence.
Rag-doll child,
the skeleton’s queen,
wandering through the graveyard of broken souls.
Your life is a constant masquerade
full of masked faces and veiled identities.
No one is true.
Don’t let yourself fall behind,
the vultures are waiting
to clean the skin from your bones,
steal away your very breath.
The loneliness is deep,
my morbid paper-doll,
empty and devoid of emotion.
Thread your needle,
sew your mouth shut.
Carry on.
