Broken Toys

Shattered pieces, broken wheel
The string won't pull, but the toy doesnt feel.
Batteries are included but it wont turn on,
broken toys don't know that theres life beyond. 

Ragged hair and a crooked dress,
The little doll wasn't always such a mess.
Her face once smiled and we played all day,
The broken toy, is now stashed away.

No one keeps the broken toy,
When the memories fade, so do their joy. 
But the memories they keep aren't always the best,
And soon we forget about them, along with the rest.

What once was new and full of life,
Has been tossed to the side, out of sight. 
Hidden away where no one can see,
Is a broken toy just like me.
