For years I've been your Pretty, pretty china doll. With pink lips, permanently set Into a half-smile. But inside, my china heart Broke a long time ago And the blood, it Threatens to seep through The cracks that you made.
I'm dreaming, dreaming. And in my dream the Mirror shatters. Catapulting a million fragments To the floor and little Lily Is there. See? She's playing with the shards, Hands bleeding. She pulls them to her mouth Like her teething rattle. Blood, dripping down her baby gro. And you laugh, you laugh.
I watch your chest rise and fall I can smell the whiskey on your breath. I, I take a plump pillow and I press it hard over your mouth. The porcelain mask starts to Slip, it slips. It falls to the ground And splits, it splits. You don't struggle and your chest, It doesn't rise any more.
Now I rise.
I walk over to Lily's cot, I check her hands and they're Fine, they're fine. I kiss her mouth and my Tears drip, drip down her baby gro.
