Just a toy,
A meaningless toy.
Emotions are bare,
No stories to tell,
No love, no warmth, no compassion.
Laying on the ground,
Discarded,
Just a silly old toy.
Once, there was such reverence
A love shared between toy and her master
Now she waits and waits
Yet he goes on by
Never giving her the chance to shine
Alone on a shelf her feelings grow cold
Afraid of letting them die
She cries and screams
Never heard by those near
Unable to save herself now
She’s just a toy,
A meaningless toy,
His love has pulled fast away
She tries to speak
Words he’ll never hear
Nor would he care if he did
She longs to be looked at
Longs to be touched
Longs for some love to raise her up
She’ll never find that
She’ll never stand tall
She’s not worth the trouble for that
Alone in her corner
His words echo true
Could he really have meant what he said?
He’s hard pressed to show it
But she wishes it true
So she doesn’t have live a lie
In anger and fear
She sits all alone
Not wanting to hear if he’s leaving
Inside she knows
His love was only for show
And she, like a fad, was just fleeting
He’ll find a new love
And yet she’ll still recall
How he told her loved her so true
He played her heart
Plucked every string
And left her feeling so blue
She’s just a toy,
Just a meaningless toy
And she knows that’s all she ever was
She goes on with life
Dealing inwardly with her fears
And tries to get the best
Out of what she has left.
