mr. mundane (poem)

inspired by justfrankie's "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS"

         that ring
                                won't fill the hole in your heart,
the home that Love had abandoned years ago

        and you
                                tried to fill it with desperate fantasies
the whispers of sweet nothings that Love once loved -
now you're a doll on display, pull the string to say the line

        and her,
                                dressed in pearl marching down the aisle
beauty as radiant as gems and makeup could allow
with boundless joy overwhelming her every move

        and you,
                                only reminded of this gnawing void
too late now, put on a mask for the show
play the part as if the lines were your own
crocodile tears turn real as the horror sets in
the truth would shatter her porcelain heart
turn her fulfilled dream to nightmare

        and you,
                                haven't the heart to do it.

-Zero
