China Doll


Because he loves me

he turns to me and smiles

he covers me up, and dusts me off

he says he would never hurt me

he takes me out of my box

pulls me down from my shelf

and shows me off to all his friends

he paints over all of my breaks and brusies

and tells me it'll all be okay, even though I know it won't

because he says he loves me

I vow to be his forever
