My Broken China Doll

My broken little China doll
cracked down the face
dripping porcelain hate
Haven't you screamed enough silence
little China doll
Wasn't it alone you needed
broken beauty
I hadn't heard your song of nightingale's lute in ages
and here you are pressed lips tight
and nothing will come
Brush her hair and make her pretty
but this little doll is still sobbing
tears of paint and lips blood red
So real in her charming glass case
free of dust and anything else that may mar
but once...
I'll admit
I took her out to play
and I knotted her hair
and smeared her make up
and took a long look at that perfect face
picked her up
and slammed her down into the ground
and now
now she is
my little broken China doll
with a face so pretty and shattered
pasted back up and tethered with tape
Now my pretty doll
now you look human...
broken...
bleeding...
crying all over again.

My little broken China doll
how you bleed so pretty down
With little doll hands
and a little doll knife
you broke through your fleshy porcelain
Crying out into the night
the song trapped upon your lips
in blood red
Lifeless boundless timeless beauty
holding but a smidgen of a mortal soul
as you rock your tiny doll body
down the rabbit hole
into your own darkness
so consuming little China doll
Will you ever find your way home?
My little broken China doll
how you rest in longing arms
to scream to cry
to bleed for fun
Run around with scissors
and red paint splattered upon your pretty China doll dress
With childlike giggles
and wide whipped chocolate eyes
Look upon the world in the dark haze you call life
and as you drag that doll knife across doll flesh
will you see in shades of red and death
The day fades and the night remains
and here you sing in sorrows sweet song
Painted tears
and midnight hair of silk and plastic
bound to perfection
just like the rest
of my beautiful
broken
China doll.
Cry my Beauty
Cry it all out
Bleed my doll
Bleed it all out
Snap and twist
and break all over again
But you shall always stay
locked away
as my little broken China doll.
