Not Your Rag Doll

I'm tired of being played with.
I'm not a toy
that you can use
to amuse yourself
when it suits you,
and can abandon
when you're done.

You can't just leave me
sitting on a shelf,
waiting for you.

You can't break me,

tear out my stuffing,
and then toss me out,
and buy a replacement.

I'm not your toy,

your plaything.
I'm no rag doll.

This was more what I was attempting to say with the previous post.

Please Leave.

I looked to you for hope.
I tried to trust you
but it was all a waste
of time and effort.

You don't really care.
You're just waiting
for something better
to come along.

You laugh at me,
you think I'm naive
and that I don't know
what you're doing.
I do know.

I'm tired of wasting time
with you.
I'm looking for more
than you are capable of giving.
I need a change,
and that means leaving you behind.
