The Doll
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder why you chose me.
You could have any of the dolls.
Why did you call me beautiful?
And then liked me best of all.
Why are lies easier to believe
when they fall from handsome lips?
Why did you stare into my eyes
and softly kiss my lips?
All was wonderful and you treated me kind.
But one day when I met you for play -
Did my eyes deceive me, am I losing my mind?
Or did you play with another doll that day?
You should have left me to sit -
Just a doll upon the shelf.
Maybe then I could have survived -
With some respect for myself.
So with feelings trampled and spirit bruised,
I climb back to the shelf asking "why"?
But have no fear, this smile's painted on.
'Cause everyone knows dolls don't cry.
