Analysis of 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
