The Secret Life of Dolls

January 15th, 2019

Let’s go back
To a story that never started
Where a porcelain toy
Wasn’t left broken hearted
Let’s go back
To memories that don’t exist
Because the bruises never formed
At the hands of angry fists
Let’s go back
To when you didn’t drink the bottle
It fell empty on its own
And you’re still a perfect role model
Let’s go back
To when you didn’t let me down
You must have told me you were moving
Before you left town
Let’s go back
To when our family was defined
And I will delete what never happened
From the archives of my mind

Time

January 2nd, 2007

Time was closing in
All I did was breathe to ease the pain
But as every second passed
I could feel I was growing insane
I knew about my heart
It was growing so cold
And all these memories I hold
They are growing so old
So I take a deep breath
And see what’s been left behind
Because now that it’s passed
I can’t just push rewind
My heart’s been left empty
And there’s no going back
And I’m never going to find it
Everything my heart lacks
And it’s all gone
It’s disappeared in the past
And don’t take time for granted
Because time never lasts

Broken Smile

May 29th, 2005

I see the girl
With the broken smile
She’s in the mirror
And has been lost for a while
She’s disappeared
Into an empty dark place
And the only thing left of her
Is her picture
No smile on her face
No evidence to trace
I’m the only one who sees her
Nobody even wants to be her
Her broken smile is on her face
Her shattered heart beats one last time
And that broken smile on her face
That broken smile’s mine
