THE MANNEQUIN’S FAÇADE By John Williams[lostinmyowndreams] Closet full of mannequins Years full of tombstones Marked with price tags House full of empty things A chair bought A memory faked A bed in a room Empty feelings in my stomach When thinking about you Bathroom full of nothing Bottles of masks Imported from France Fragrances and tones Making up The mannequin’s façade Family room full of tears Hollow laughs echoing From the photocopies Of someone’s family Hanging on the walls Making up the life Of the mannequin Closet full of mannequins Years full of tombstones Marked with price tags Chains forged from credit Prison made of debt Quicksand of bills Emptiness full of nakedness Closet full of mannequins Naked to the world Naked in my mind Waiting to be dressed -End-
