Broken Porcelain Doll Quotes

Her mascara ran in streaks down her face lipstick smeared across her alabaster cheeks like a porcelain doll that had been flung around before the paint had dried. ... barely blinking eyes like content little suns poking through dark mascara clouds she is broken yet whole at the same time and she belongs to him (excerpt from "Content" in Make Me Take It From You by HL37)

She came over and tried to comfort him. However, he lost the reason in the moment of rage and completely lost control of himself. He just flung up his sleeve and threw the child out like a doll; by the time his mind realized what he has done and tried to rush and protect her, it was too late. He watched helplessly as she bumped into the stone wall like a broken porcelain doll. How did this happen?! At that moment, the teenager who had been sitting for many days, finally jumped up in surprise, ran to her and picked her up, then rushed out of the cave with the dying child in his arms; jumped onto the divine bird, and flew desperately to Menghua Peak in the northwest, completely forgetting the anger and hatred that engulfed his heart a moment ago.

Blood from bone, skin from earth it walks, feet to stone.   Darkness brutal, darkness fair it waits, eyes to soul.   Words intoned, fire in hand it drinks, marrow from bone.   At its feet, I lay sprawled crooked, broken doll it licks, I stare.

Photosynthesis by Skylar Stone Backroads Are never paved by a girl like me Can’t be seen No emerald But the leaving I’ve seen Still lies right before me I’m a spoonful of polish Just blind trust turned faithless But my world doesn’t matter here And my porcelain life is behind me I found peace in these clashin’ chairs Never knew such a small life could free me In the pines, by the water In the arms of another Little hands with big hearts find me And I find peace My life Is tailored to fit just so Never chosen Then you came Set fire to the lies I honed Now I’m hoping The future is perfect, Strip me down to human But my world doesn’t matter here And my porcelain life is behind me I found peace in the calmer air In the simplicity of a new dream In the pines, by the water In the arms of a lover Little hands with big hearts find me And I find peace Breathing in until my lungs cry It’s like I’m forced here, trapped in two lives Oh, the peace I’ve found Or my old doll house Breathing out the love you’ve shown me Got a bird’s eye view of healing Found in innocence Photosynthesis ‘Cause my world doesn’t matter here I left that version of me in the city I found home in a broken glass I found home in the words that he gave me In the pines, by the water In the arms of a lover Little hands with big hearts find me And I find peace

Love didn’t exist for girls like me. We were filthy and disgusting. We were broken and dysfunctional at best. But Royce kissed me like I was perfect. Like I was some dusty porcelain doll that just needed a little care to shine again.
