Porcelain

Sarah

When you look at yourself, what do you see?

Someone beautiful, special, or unique?

I've always wondered what was thought of me

But now it's much, much too late to see

I knew Thomas long ago

He always liked me but the feeling was not mutual

Who would've thought he'd follow me home

On the one night I finally became whole

He caught me at the door and pushed me in

He explained that he always saw himself as more than a friend

See Thomas watched me, being all too intimate

He said that I'd lost all of my innocence

And in an instant, I saw the glare

Then felt the cold hard knife, and a loss of air

Now I see myself in a whole new light

For the first time in my short, short life

So delicate and so dull

Plump red lips, and crystalline eyes

As deep and blue as the sea

Hair as black as the night's skies

And this is what is left of me

So delicate and so dull

Skin so pale and yet so bright

Eyes that have finally given up the fight

As I was, I shall never have again

I am now and will forever be...
