Resting cheaply...

Breath baited, barely moving
for fear of waking, desturbing
eyes tracing, learning, absorbing
aqueducts of wasted tears.

Soft hair stroking smooth skin,
shiny, plastic set perfectly
features easy, relaxed, at peace
smiling soulesly...

Gentle breeze, lifting soft chiffon
ruffling linen, baring beauty
showing honestly, lifeless splendour
wasted egoistic perfection.

Oh, resting one, sleeping soundly
were you dead, I could explain
feeling so distant, unfeeling, numb
so ruthlessly disecting.

Was it death, who made you common
Could I still accept it,
but, 'tis you who made you cheap
with senseless, mindless self absorbsion...
