Doll's Cry

Come
Come play with me!

I sit on this shelf,
wait for your arrival,
overly cheery smile
painted on my porcelain
face and my marble eyes
alight with wonder.

Come,
come tie your strings,
come take me away,
come take what is yours

It's what I was made for,
It's a purpose I long to fulfill.

Come,
come play this game with me
Unspoken rules.

I'll never speak,
only bend to your will.
For you and I both
know that I always lose

Come,
come play with me,
come play and feel like a winnder,
and when you are done...

Shatter my glass and lay
me to rest.
