. Cracked porcelain face
Aged intricate lace
Lips as red as wine
Hair tangled like twine
Eyes as cold as ice
Now failing to entice
She used to bring joy
Once a favoured toy
Love in abundance
Now made redundant
Years haven't been kind
Her life has no rewind
Home is now a Museum
Her owners a Mausoleum
