Curly hair and rosy cheeks
with eyes that close in sleep
like a baby in your arms
your thoughts run so deep
Left to sleep abandoned
when you decided to let go
did it effect your reality
pretending that you don’t know
Discard the old for new
with love that turns off and on
wonder what it is that you shall do
when all your dolls are gone

I love the style you've written this in. I also really like the final two lines. The last line itself ,so sad, yet thought provoking.
Thanks for entering.

Such a thought provoking piece here. I love these lines
'wonder what it is that you shall do
when all your dolls are gone'
To me this felt like you are talking about someone who is very shallow, using and tossing people away when someone better comes along.
Best wishes to you in the contesty.
