I am a mannequin with a lost piece.
A piece, till no ends, I can adore.
It brings me pain, it brings me sorrow
And yet why is it that that I yearn for?
I remain still in the vacant dusk
All while contemplating the fear;
To reach the top of the peak without
Losing the love to what I hold dear.
I see through the window the cheery masks
Thinking am I to blame
For the fire that I took pride in
To have become so utterly tame
I see the land showered with yellow
And yet so very blue
All while the mind cramps to revive,
There should be something I can do
And so I continue to ponder
While the needles continue to prick
I find myself helpless
As something in me starts to click
I am a mannequin with a lost piece
As it dawns I realize that the rest is obsolete
It isn't a question of happiness or pain
But rather, does it make me complete
I look up to the cold night sky knowing the answer
The mind fatigued and worn
But I lay and close my eyes with a faint smile
a new star is born.
