China Doll
By Anaelle
I built her
Crafted from hurt feelings
Shed tears
A broken heart or two
Shaped from your image
Shilky hair, cascading down
Black velvet as a dress
Beautiful white skin
So smooth to touch
Except for the cracks
But she sat tall and pretty
Proud about how she was made
Mouthing 'I love you'
When trained and needed
But...she had no eyes
Dark holes following me
Mocking incompleteness
Silently laughing at me
She betrayed me when she
-Shattered-
Cracks becoming noticable
Hallow eyes no longer moving
The mouth fixed open
And then she broke
White crystals glinting
As they fell onto black
'I told you so'
But her laughed echoed
Even as I picked her up
And set her aside
To glue together another day
My perfect china doll
