Doll

by Redd   Nov 1, 2007


I'm only a doll on a toy store shelf
Passed up by girl after girl
When I catch ones eye
She seems to like me a lot
She buys me and takes me home
Treats me like the only thing that has ever mattered
And never lets me leave her sight
One day she walks away
Doesn't even look back to see where I am
I don't mind
She had to get tired of me sometime
When I see her again she has a new doll
She picks me up too
Then drops me in a box
Closes the lid
And I am lost
Next I know I'm back on my shelf
Back at the store
Back of the shelf
Watching as all the other dolls around me get bought
And put in there places even better dolls
Two times too many this has happened
But I guess all I can do is move on
Get comfortable and wait
For that day when another girl sees me and buys me
Hoping that she won't be the same
Because after all
I'm only a doll on a toy store shelf
