Porcelain Star

I ask you a million questions each night

and though you don't answer,

I never take flight

I take hold of your hand

tell you "sleep tight"

and curl up closely

taking in every sight

The way you are still

no matter what time

The way your eyes

have this glossy shine

The way your lips

are in a constant smile

You may be a doll

but you have a heart all the while

I asked you a million questions that night

and with your answers

out came a fight

Not to worry though

forgiveness is key

I'll replace your stuffing

just leave it to me

I'll help you stop moving

so we'll never be far

I'll help you keep your eyes open

to see this sight so bizarre

I'll help get rid of your decay

to prove how loved you are

And just for extra measure,

I'll keep your heart in this jar
