China Doll
your face, white as snow
lips red as blood,
do you still feel?
or are you already gone?
can you still hear me,
standing here?
or have you already gone?
your skin's cols as ice,
your breath's a whisper.
China doll,
are you still with me,
or have you left me,
have you gone away?
you're so still,
is there any life left?
your hair still shines like silk,
but can you still see?
your skin, so pale,
whiter than the bed you lay on.
China doll,
do you see, see us?
do you see us stand and cry?
can you see us weep for you?
or have you already gone?
you seem so frail,
so frail among your many threads,
could you ever really be that frail?
you were so strong
China doll,
are you still here with me?
or are these liquid threads
the only things tha thold you
here with me?
will you still be here tomorrow?
or will I be alone?
China doll,
don't let them cut your threads
and take you from this bed,
don't let them pack you up.
don't let them pack you into that box.
China doll,
don't leave me.
stay here and let me see you.
China doll,
don't let them take you away,
don't go away.
China doll,
please live, don't die
and go away.
