Left Behind

Poem contains themes of mostly memories and loneliness. Its about a doll in an abandoned house and memories of a happy family. Please leave me a review :)

Left Behind

In a dark, old house sat a dusty doll,

Dirt on her frock, cob webs and all.

The doll was missing an arm,

And no longer possessed her charm.

They were meant to be loved by young girls,

Meant to look beautiful, pretty as pearls.

But the doll lost everything when they moved away,

Leaving the house looking old and grey.

Memories of a happy child at play,

The parents wanting to never end the day.

Mother looking lovingly and father smoking a cigar,

While their bubbling little boy played with a toy car.

Along came their little girl with bright eyes and all,

Gleeful smile while skipping down the hall.

In her hand was the doll, looking pristine and new,

The girl cared about the doll and cleaned her everyday too!

But that was just a memory that had long since passed,

Cruel! As happy times do go fast...

The doll was cold and lonely in the corner,

What else was she to do but be a mourner?

For she is an object with no free will,

Cannot move and has no skill.

Left behind to rot here and always feeling disgraced,

But forever hopeful that she will once again be embraced...

Just like the old doll, I too have been tossed aside like a piece of trash, abandoned, forgotten, and now lonely.
Once, taken good care of; now neglected.
I hate being a toy.
Well, a girl's toy, anyway.
If I could be maybe Optimus Prime, and lead a kickass Autobot army.....that might be cool.
But to be a favorite plaything of an immature girl for a short time, only to be thrown away in favor of something better without consideration......not so cool.
I'm right there with you, old doll. Me and you, WE HERE.
