Sweet little doll of mine,
With dark, twisted hair,
With bright eyes do shine,
Eyes do stop and stare,
But oh, how I love you so,
Your curly long lashes,
Your porcelain skin of snow,
You're ribbons and sashes,
A red tattered skirt,
A little old ragged hat,
With aged stains and dirt,
Mad when you speak of that,
Huh? What do you say?
Find you a much prettier dress?
No? Wait? Listen? Stay?
Wrap you in gold and pearls no less?
Alright, what else would Dolly like?
Hmm? Throw Away my clothes and toys?
Oh dear, even my brand new bike?
I mustn't talk to girls or boys?
Oh, I mustn't speak to mother?
You say they'll keep us apart
At night we sleep,
Peaceful. Dreaming.
While they weep,
Quietly. Screaming.
One. By. One.
They smell. Something new.
One. By. One.
They reach out. for you.
Don't be scared.
They won't hurt you.
Don't mean to scare.
Wake up. Wake up.
Don't mean to scare.
Go away... nightmares.
