Dolly

These past few years I've been lost
Discarded like a toy lying
Unloved, unmissed and fallen
Forgotten behind a child's bookcase

Lying inert
Waiting here
Slowly dying...

As alkaline batteries leak
Destroying slowly from within
Yet each hand that reaches down
I pray is reaching down for me

To rescue me
To save me
And remember...

In my desperate shattered mind
We play again the games we played
Your hand brushes my cheek and
You pull me up out of the dark

Up to the light
To comfort
To loving arms...

But each time you look down here
It's another that you pursue
Just serving to push me down
To further unreachable depths

Once quite precious
To my love
Now discarded...

How can all our happy times
Have slipped so quickly from your mind
You were my entire world
Untill this careless dismissal

Yet it is warm
And safe here
No restlessness...

And I have been here so long
If I ever was to be found
Saved from this place, dusted off
Your eyes beholding me once more

I fear I would
Be far too
Broken to fix...
