She is a drone of unconscious lust
possessive of love – as an object.
Unpassionate
Senseless lust
Layers, and layers of deep red
lipstick
plastered over unconventional truth
silicon
emotions
&
plastic
tears

You have chosen strong words for your images. Reminds me of "the unexamined life is not worth living". I suspect that beneath "layers of red lipstick" are real emotions and real tears. Thoughtful poem, congratulations for the trophy.
