Smile to Grimace
Porcelain glass doll with soft peach lips
Fresh coat of mascara glued to each eyelash
Powder speckled on delicate cold cheeks
Eyes emerald green outlined by black circles
Ringlets of soft shiny hair falling drowsily on the chest
The fake face that appears in front of you is a doll
Beauty merely distracting from the sadness in her eyes
Dark furrowed eyebrows that contain evil sitting on their edge
A smile that at the corner drops into a grimace
Small delicate hands balled into fists
Her fingernails painted a fresh coat of black
The color of death
Her chest breathing heavily releasing the cold breeze from her lips
Each pretty detail painted over the dark core
