Little doll on a shelf
Saying nothing
Still and silent
Is this how it's meant to be
Where's your voice
Where's your breath
As you sit quietly
Existing in a dim expanse
Who closed these lips with coral paint
Why are your cheeks so bisque-pale
Who do you wait for, little doll
To whisper in your shell ear
Skirts so silken
Shoes so polished
Not a ruffle out of place
Curls that frame a bisque-pale face
Who looks into your blue eyes, little doll
Who holds you close and dear
Who allays your darkest fears
While other people look on
Exquisite love, forbidden thoughts
Is this how it's meant to be
For a girl to become a doll
Is this what you're meant to be?
