POEM STARTER
Write a poem that is grotesquely romantic.
This could mean a poem thatβs overly lovey-dovey, one that has a romantic theme but grotesque imagery, or something else altogether.
Plastic Dolls
What were you expecting? The doctor said in shock.
The type of love that mends a heart...
Y'know
The type of love that breaks your heart
When I fell in love I began to change myself for him
It was my choice
Not the words of his voice in my head
Doll make a choice
What choice did I have
So I split my self in half
Stored the old me away
Filled the other half with plastic so I would never
Wither away
He loved it
He said my doll is truly stunning
And so yeah I went running
Bought new lips and new hips
Some implants for those hips
He loved me
And I loved him
The other half of me was gone
I didn't care to see it
The other half was no good
I didn't want to be it
So yes I love him
And the caution is but a lightbulb
Sometimes it flickers
Sometimes it shines
But I said till death do us part
And even if I'm falling apart
I love him with all my heart
So what if I start to decay
All the plastic comes to haunt me one day
In the mirror I'm his doll
So not at all do I regret it
I would cry if he hated it
I'd try to change it back
Get back the other half that he said "I do" to
Use hot glue to make me more for you
Mending it all together
Because I love you
So yes I did
I did get the surgery
But he loves me
He finds me attractive
So yea that's enough
The other half is gone with all the real stuff
So yea I did it
