Glass Dolls

Pretty,porcelain dolls in glittery,fancy clothes,
on the shelves,put  so high,for you to pay to look at.
Step out of the golden chains,tied to their 
hearts and souls,
to dance  and sing to the tunes,they so made.
Touch your heart so gently,making you
fancy  them with their starry charm.
Enchanting dolls ,made and groomed from humble beings,
with perfectly fixed features. 
Stirring up the emotions,never so felt
for someone living miles  and reach away.
Lovely smiles and laughs,every tear shed,
things being held and wore,
is a midas touch for their liege.
Silence after the roaring chants,gloom after
the bright lights & cheers,
seeps into these dolls , and buried dreams dreams and
hopes surface ,scarring the wounds
little more deeper.
And the devil enjoys  the burning hell in their
souls,as its the deal they made .
As prime  flies,shine fades and glass cracks a little.
Facades slowly crashing down ,and broken
pieces  pierce through ,bleeding  the bystanders/admirers.
And its time for the master,to order new dolls
for his shelves to adorn them beautifully.
Looking out the window of his dreamland castle,
with wide  crooked grin on his face,as the
fresh arrival of new dolls come....  .

I am guessing glass dolls is a metaphoric write. I like the details that bring them alive and the turn in your poem towards the end
