Bell the Porcelain Doll



I once had a porcelain doll
 Her name was Bell
 Scary as can be
 Her eyes as big as shells

 Watched me as I fell asleep
 I felt her eyes follow me
 Never ever left my view
 Even as i slept

 A scary doll Bell was
 She really started to frighten me
 Porcelain skin with rouged cheeks
 Left alone to roam free

 Once i swear i saw her move
 That was the day i said goodbye
 Packed her up in a brown cardboard box
 As i slowly let out a sigh

 I once had a porcelain doll
 Her name was Bell
 She lives in the attic now
Sometimes i hear her yell
