take these sick dull figurines
and place them on the dusty crooked shelf
that you've hung away for so long
that cobwebs cover all that's on it
but that's ok because you hate skeletons anyways
photographs of intriguing youthful brown eyes
don't worry they won't be lonely
fake plastic green and purple beads
and the dead rose now hold a different beauty
they all make you so sick in your head
so close the damn door to the closet
and let the dust collect for a few more moments
there'll always be more figurines
to collect dust on the shelf
