Just because:

Statuesque

There you are. You stare motionless from your place.
Transfixed gaze, expressing nothing.
Touched by Midas and gently placed for all to see. Statuesque.
Their desperation scrolls around you.
They covet you, but you won't see. You hold your stare
Unmoved by that which beckons you.
Oblivious to the dizzying spiral (those who would have you).
Worshippers.
They idolize your golden form.
Gilt, overpowers guilt and dries your sorry tear.
Hardened heart fails to find a beat.
They shake their heads and scream for what you were.
Beautiful.
From rigidity seeps a hint of fear.
