Porcelain Love

I can not play with you like the others,

I can not be rough and break you,

Because dolls like you,

Can only crack and shatter.

You are made for babies,

To teach them to play nice,

To have tea parties and good manners,

Important things that matter.

But I do not want to play dolls,

At least no with you,

Because I can not get you dirty,

Left on the floor.

No; I have to tuck you into bed,

And give you a sweet goodnight kiss,

And leave the light on for you,

Through the cold bedroom door.
