He touched her
And she chipped ever so gently
He hit her
Another chip falls
From that sweet shiny body of hers

She laughs
And finds joy in things like trees
They call her weak
When she's just sweet

She's made of porcelain
Fragile eyes made of glass
Perfectly made
Used and then passed
Bruised and abused
Handed down an object
A toy to play with

Porcelain girl
Porcelain girl
What's wrong with you

She cries and she falls
Falling
Falling
Falling
Down till she hits the ground

She shatters
Revealing every scar
And broken part
That had been hidden for years

Now everyone knew
But it was too late
This time she couldn't be saved.
