Love is a china doll
It is fragile
One false move, and it is shattered
with shards, sharp and jutting, embedded into skin
Slowly, slowly bleed.

Love is a china doll
Guarded, placed upon the highest shelf
A prize to show off, a trophy to
flaunt in front of those who have lost
Pretty to the eye, cold to the touch.

Love is a china doll
Beauty in the eyes of a child
Hungry for lace and trimming and
a secret glade in which to play
Sparkle fades, but pure white skin
hugged against a longing chest,
Is Precious. Porcelain.

A little cliche. I didn't enjoy this poem until I started the last section. I loved the lines "hungry for lace and trimming and, a secret glade in which to play". That one really sticks out. If I could rate just those two lines, I'd give them 4/5.

You have a lot of talent at writing poetry. I really liked it. It was interesting to see all the images and how you used the metaphor of the china doll. 5/5 XD
