Porcelain Doll

A beautiful doll of porcelain,

you grasp inside of your palm.

She is covered in black velvet

and her eyes are lined in kohl.



You add color to her face.

You make her clothes bright...

not knowing for one second...

that you're crushing everything that she is.



You paint a smile on her face

and you brighten her dark hair.

You place her with your other dolls.



As the days go by...

You forget her.

She is just the same as your other dolls.

She is no longer your favorite...

but merely fake.



Now do you see what you've done to me?
