China Doll
Not that fragile,
nor prone to damage
don't let the porcelain skin fool you,
or the lip quiver
make you think
that i lack fortitude.
Did you think my love was spun glass,
about to shatter from one bump?
Did you think I could not take
a little heat,
that our love would never be tested?
Darling man,
it would take more than an sentence
to break what vibrates between us,
and I will not let you
count this as proof
that you were not worth my loving.
So come here right now,
look in my eyes
and tell me that you are not still deep inside me,
cradled in my heart
cherished in my thoughts,
and more precious
than ever I thought a soul could be.
You are there love...always.
I am no china doll,
and forever is the longest word
i have ever offered.
So please...take it...take me.
Forever.
