China doll in black velvet dress,
her curls tell the story of a bloody mess.
Stare blankly at their playful eyes;
porcelain skin - her darkness in disguise.

Her green eyes eternally glow,
Still child - no heart to become a window
for mortality to steal you
from your toyland, my little Mary Sue.

How long have you witnessed her pain?
Senseless tears she shed for a candy cane.
What dreadful sight your empty look.
My frozen princess your head never shook.

They dub your silence, call your name.
Mary Sue you can never say the same.
Ten long years and still on the shelf,
you can never really tell time yourself.

No longer a ballerina,
she is now called Lady Constantina.
Still child - time to smell the cinder.
Gone are the days of candy and kinder.

Buried with the same youthful face
in a chest of memories and disgrace.
Tales of midnight evil no more.
Silly were they to think you walked the floor.
Mary Sue, you\'re just a doll of perfect doom.
