mannequin;

just a mannequin
controlled by strings
held by the hands
of another.

she'll do his bidding
mechanically but willingly
just to be in his graces.

but she is only being used
without gaining an ounce
of love, appreciation, adoration
from him.

she will become broken
an empty pile of wooden sticks
once her use has dissipated.
and he will continue on
forgetting his mannequin lover.
