Porcelain Dolls

We wanted you to be our friend
Demanding favors, wanted you to
Join us

We try so hard to make you dead
Don't worry- pain is kind of pleasure
Child

We're here
That's all we really are
We're broken
You're broken too

Memories
They're all in your head
The past is here to take you back!
Warming memories you lack

Memory has just been rotten
Sweet old times all now forgotten
Mindless scream misunderstanding
Porcelain dolls are still demanding
Can't believe that you're still standing 

Cat, dear child please come closer 
Our soulless eyes are glossing over 
Porcelain skin, cracking quickly
Your tiny frame, trembling meekly
How now, you're looking sickly

Happiness will last forever
We will always be together
Oh dear Cat there is no fear now
You have seen us somewhere, somehow
Guess you broke your final vow


Finally your small mind recalls
Us two red suited porcelain dolls.

Hey Cat, do you remember us yet?


Last lines of each stanza:  Join us. Child. You're broken too. Warming memories you lack. Can't believe that you're still standing. How now, you're looking sickly. Guess you broke your final vow.
