Artificial Velvet

Actress authenticity,

porcelain figure face.

You hide yourself well

behind your layers

of satin and lace.

Velvety smooth sonata,

soul depth perception forged.

Inspire your fans with

false smiles and

twisted truths.

One day soon,

they’ll be the miscarriage

of your kingdom.

Slash my voice,

needle stitches to

keep me hushed.

I’ll not meet your

beckoning call.

Wait until it is your back

against the wall.

Cowering from accusations

you so diligently abused.

Your true Wonderland will be

a black abysmal grave.

But hold on tight,

it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Fame soaring,

higher than the limited sky.

Reminiscing on how

you got to this place,

it’s funny, because you

won’t even recall a trace.

Who got you where

you are today?

It was me, and

the rest of dying race.

An extinction breed,

creating a fool.

Helping a friend get notice,

never knowing, we’d

fashioned a tool.

Wear your mask

of silken comfort.

Sprinkled magic

dust runs out.

That’s when you’ll

be standing alone,

searching for

the non-existent

escape route.

Actress authenticity,

porcelain figure face.

You hide yourself well

behind your layers

of satin and lace.

 

Author's Note

You will rue the day you made me who I am.
