Saddened eyes stare, longing, unfree

A beauty in porcelain, crying for thee

Left all alone, set among autumn leaves

Silently hoping, disheartened, she grieves

Dreaming of days, reminiscing of

The arms that held her, when she was beloved

No longer a favorite doll for this child

Cast aside, forgotten, forever exiled

Tears slowly fall, from glass marble eyes

As the water of life, reveals her disguise
