Porcelain Doll Poem by Dora Egan

Stay with me, my darling youth
And lay thy hands upon my chest.
Feel my heartbeat, my porcelain doll.
Stay with me a little bit more.

Keep thy eyes sparkling like stars,
Those beautiful brown eyes.
And let thy hair be free and wild,
Like beast, like fire.

Move thy lips across my skin,
Don't stop now, just don't give in.
Blood, sweat, tears, denial,
It's not enough, Don't stop now.

Cut through my skin, break all my bones,
Rip my heart out, my porcelain doll.
