porcelain Options

[audory]

I'm no
porcelain doll
in need of
protective care
I'm no
porcelain child
with empty space
for a beating heart
I'm no
porcelain mannequin
consisting of nothing more
than a plastic, painted smile
I'm no
porcelain girl
who'll stand here
with my heart
e x p o s e d
and wait forever
for another
porcelain boy.


so take me now
and--
hold me
break me
violate me--
anything
before I shatter
and disappear
for good.
