Serial

I'm not the first I know
 But will I be the last
 This dirty side you show
 We've definitely moved to fast

Who else has been here
 Do the faces blur into one
 Everything now is coming clear
 And no I'm not having fun

You wish you had a doll instead of a girl
 Never returning to the last
 Your touch now makes my toes curl
 A sickening feeling from the past

What did they have that I don't
 Not much to offer I guess
 You told me to scream but I won't
 The blood makes such a mess

She was the women you loved
 A replacement you work to create
 Your hands both tightly gloved
 You tell me I'm lucky number eight

Ashamed and naked I lay
 For all the world to see
 Someday I'll make you pay
 In the next life it may be

They wonder where I am
 No one would ever expect
 This lion prays on a lamb
 Your last prize to collect

A place I've never seen
 And still will not
 Your hands have been scrubbed clean
 The desert I lay in is hot

3 years to find my body
 My best years are gone
 They make you sound gaudy
 And turn me into a delicate swan

Plucked from her prime of life
 To let rot and decay
 All for the love of your wife
 Whose body next to,  I do lay
