She sits upright,

On a store shelf,

Quiet, keeping to herself.

Identical, to those alike,

Yet unique, through her eyes.

As though she can peer

 Into your heart,

And see every breaking part.

And her fingers though still and closed,

Beckon you to take her home.

Her hair soft, like an angels wings,

Falls around her face in ringlets,

As light as the strings,

And ribbons which dangle from her dress,

-Yes. This doll is the specialist.

And there’s something

 About her porcelain skin,

That makes it seem she’s breathing.

It can make someone tingle inside,

For there’s not emptiness, but a soul that hides
