My Vodoo Doll

By darkness_descends

My little voodoo doll
Poke and slice
Prod with a knife
One cut in the chest
Or where the pain would serve best
Before one cut is finished
Another is planned
Where the knife is placed
I feel the pain
So many cuts
Room is running low
Torturing my little doll
Taking out all my pain
On this meaningless little object
I see the scars
That reflect bad days passed
Blood stains long since dried
A thing with no inside
Whatever once was
Long ago bled out
Putting down the knife
I catch a glimpse in a mirror
And see
The blood is flowing
The scars are real
I am my doll
And my voodoo doll is me.
