She's just a Porcelain Doll

Don't break her.

Sighing and alone

she lays against the Wall

The smile carved into her face

remains permanent

even as she wails and cries inside,

Staying quiet for her own sake

She's found by an old friend

who came and left

never caring much for her in the beginning

but now he wants her again

He acts as if he likes her

giving her compliments

making her think she does

but they both know it's pretend

What can she do but,

give him what he wants

that beautiful Porcelain smile

is a curse that's staying put
