Doll

My little doll's smile
is fading away
a small crack in its beauty
a forming decay

My little doll's paint
is starting to strip
each colorful strand
departing
they'll be missed

My little doll's clothes
are tattered and torn
worn from living
and worn from the scorn

My little doll is leaving
a truth I rarely face
My little doll is leaving
her truth behind
erased

If I could change the world
I would not change it at all
for change has killed my dolly
for change has stained my heart
