Silence

I'm pale
     And cold
With eyes like
   almonds
     And fingers like
        a pianist
Cool lump of
     plastic and metals
          resting against
          the side of my face
Short muss of
     black strands
     thick
     soft
     and smooth
     atop my head
Black lashes batting
Full lips pouting
     I am a doll
       a doll with red
       around her eyes
          and a little smile on her
            round face
I am a doll
     Still and peaceful
      my breaths barely visible
        (was that a blink?)
I am a doll
     you can't see me here
     I'm only part of the furniture
     only part of the collection
     only part of the background
          (don't mind me)
I am a doll
     in the way that you won't
     notice me at all
     even when you're inches from my
       still body
I am a doll
    in the way that I am empty
    because dolls don't feel
    and I am so numb
      (to all but your lips)
I am a doll
     I won't say a single word
     I'll only watch you
     watch you with shining eyes
     and still lips
          (a whisper?)
I am a doll
     pose me how you'd like
          I am only a doll
