Porcelain

by Sarah   Dec 7, 2004


*Too Much Love Is As Bad As No Love At All*

Fair Lady, princess of His heart
Sweet Maiden, the life beneath His chest

Smile for Him Dear Unknown
Let your dark eyes glow, as cold misery warms His soul

He loves you, Beautiful Youth
Precious Porcelain, you're all that He's worth

Yet you know this brilliant love has tampered with your might
Your strength to feel has abandoned your sight

You cry for Him to see the girl you were
The smile He deserted, lifting you beyond, you're somewhere

Now elevated in a throne you lie
High, out of sight, in the sky

What you touch turns to gold
No mortal hand will you ever hold

But do you cry, lonely, sitting high in nonexistence
Or do you even know this ache is loneliness

Just stand tall, Fair Porcelain
Wait for your heart that's been taken

And somehow when it's all said and done
You will return from your kingdom

For one day He will come to see what He's lost
By the hands of disregard, to the one that He loved most

Oh when your painted beauty
Drips away by the tears of melancholy

And the blood that absently runs through your veins
Spills from your rose-bud lips

When the cold wind blows the truth to His eyes
Maybe then He will realize

***

But only time could cure the pain she felt
If there was any left...

She slipped from a dream, and shattered on the floor
But no blood from her wounds did pour

    So many beautiful lines and phrases, as always. I loved the metaphorical comparisons used throughout the piece.

    I really enjoyed:

    Oh when your painted beauty
    Drips away by the tears of melancholy

    And the blood that absently runs through your veins
    Spills from your rose-bud lips

    Keep it up, you havent written in ages.
