Rag Doll

When you were young

You were supposed to play with trains

Roll in the mud

Pretend to be Superman

But no, you played Barbie with your sister

Were there tea parties too? 

I'll bet there were

You obtained more masculine qualities as you grew

Became less awkward

Kinda...sorta...not really...sure why not?

But I gave you a sliver of my heart regardless

At first you didn't even know it

You could have had more if you knew to ask for it

But your ignorance led you to none

Then when I was stolen away and locked into a unit

You realized what I had placed in your hands

You planted it, gave it some time

At first it was forgotten

Burried beneath the ground deep

Then after some time, it began to grow

A speck appeared about the ground

You clapped your hands together and danced

Watered the tiny pitiful thing

To see what would happen

Well, it grew

And it became too large to contain

But you realized what you could control:

Me

Now I'm just your toy

Your plaything

A way to pass the time

I would be okay with that if you gave the love back

But you hold it all for yourself

So where does that leave me?

As a rag doll

Flimsy and weak

Meeting your every controling demand

Did your love your childhood that much?

You missed playing with your dolls?
