Baby Doll

Her cheeks were like roses

Her skin like porcelain

Her lips were like cherries

Her eyes were like stars

But despite all of her beauty

She never said a word

And despite all of the attention

She never showed a smile

This baby doll just sat so still,

Like waiting for a storm to pass

And beneath all of her secret ways

She moved as though she was made of steel

Because to her,

Her cheeks were like stone

Her skin like tin

Her lips were like spiders

Her eyes were like mud

This baby doll could never see

The way we all saw her

She was like a fallen angel

Because to her she could never do anything right.
