The Doll for Display

What do you see when you look down at me? 
I see you there so big and tall 
Oh dearest one of them all 
I wish you'd pick me up, why do you let me be? 
I just sit and watch the rain fall 
Gone all day I wait for you to call 

When you see a new crack on my pale face 
you look at me with such appal 
You'd say, "how'd that get there, who'd do that to such a fragile doll?" 
When my dress becomes worn and torn you sew back all my satin and lace 
You brush and fix my dark inky hair 
Somedays you look at me delightfully or just stare 

You fiddle with my bells to hear my ring 
When you're finished you set me back against the wall 
Somedays you don't even look at me at all  
Will you only see me as just a marionette on a string? 
In sadness all I can do is withdrawal  
Thinking, am I too cold, hard or small? 

I see you with that woman with flowers in her hair from spring 
Why wouldn't he rather play with me? 
I'd run to you but I'd crack from my face to my knee 
Held dear, company and love I wish to me you'd bring 
I want to be adored 
But my heart sinks as I am ignored 

I miss when you dressed me like a mannequin 
When you picked me up and made me dance 
You didn't know but you gave me a soul, feelings of love and romance 
Now you avoid me like a forbidden sin 
Im kept in this suffocating glass case 
In darkness and solitude, alone in this place 

You cherish me no more, some days I wish you'd throw me in the fire 
How I wish you were near 
Like the days when you were a young puppeteer 

When you are back I look at you with desire 
On my precious sleeve you see a strange new tear 
But you give me attention, you find me another pair 
Why must hope be such a liar 
You used to hold me for security when you were young 
I know I am not flesh, is there no way my feelings can be undone? 

Why can't I be your only one? 

Wind the back of me
I can't bare to not share my thoughts, can't you see!

Your tending care I dreadfully wish to acquire 
You used to covet and cherish me like an antique 
Like I was so rare and unique 
Im not real but this feeling wont retire 
In love for you I fall 
But to you I am just a porcelain doll
