I think you executed that pretty well. Figuratively it’s really deep. It can also be taken in a literal sense in which case it’s kind of frightening to think about the doll stalking him. I assume he is a turd face. Lol

Hello, Carrie,
"Unlighted room" - right away I knew this was going to be mysterious and magical. I believe I understand the deeper meaning here, and it's very moving. This piece is one of my favorites from you.
Thank you!

thatta girl! Nice job in maintaining the suspense. The particular lines that grabbed me are:
"Porcelain tears glazed her cheeks
Frozen in time, just for him alone
Occasionally, he'd take her down
Placing soft whispers on her neck"

These lines put me in a remembrance mode; I used to take ceramics classes, and I am intrigued as to if you could make tears from transparent glaze.
That would be an awesome thing, and very realistic.

A very well-developed piece that leaves plenty of room for conjecture and a way to have the reader draw their own conclusions. ~ Geez.

as I started reading this poem, Janice Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart" began to play. what a back ground it makes for your poem! I became a chalice, words like wine and over-flowing... I can really relate to your words and her tears suspended in time... excellent!

I had a double-take when I saw this in the stream. I also have a poem called Chinadoll. I see a woman used by a man for his pleasure. Only calling on her when his needs come to the forefront. Your a fine poet. I really enjoyed this poem.

I cannot see anything I'd change but I always revisit when I see updates.

Well done!!

Kind regards Jayne-Chloe
