Horrors of Childhood

Please do submit

China Doll

China Doll, China Doll
Close your painted eyes 
Ceramic smiles
A petty child
Treasures as their prize

China Doll, China Doll
Such a pretty dress
You hide the scuffs 
Of playtime roughs 
Child's scornful crest 

China Doll, China Doll 
Lovely is your hair 
Your daylight locks 
Sweet goldilocks 
Held by vicious bear 

China Doll, China Doll
Dry your painted eyes
His sinful hand 
Of you demands
Stifled, broken cries 

China Doll, China Doll
Move your tiny feet
And run as far
Able you are
Aid in his defeat

China Doll, China Doll
Your sash snags the gate 
He pulls the strings
And you he slings 
Sealing morbid fate

China Doll, China Doll
Porcelain so fine
In shattered chips 
And tiny bits 
Devastating shrine 

China Doll, China Doll
We weep in the night
For kind and class
Could not surpass
Smothered by their spite
