Waiting To Be Remade [mannequin Series 4]

Now that you are gone from here
I am all alone my dear

The touch that had made me real
A ghost of that is all I feel

With cold unfeeling skin
You crafted me mannequin

I was perfect and supine
The mastery of your design

I ate the fables from your hand
That lay me down at your command

So now I sit here waiting, perfectly displayed
Looking out the glass window waiting to be remade

A piece of forever past
Sits the mannequin behind the glass.
