One Big Game

And it's times like these
I feel it in my chest
An aching feeling
That never rests
A hollow loneliness
I must bare
For it seems
No one cares
I'm out alone
Always by myself
Just put me away
Up on the top shelf
Where I can sit
And gather dust
Way up high
Where I can lust
After the other toys
Getting attention
This pain in my chest
Is too great to mention
With a cap of dust
And glossy eyes
Faded paint
And strings all tied
I'm but a puppet
Beaten and broken
No longer worth
Even one single token
I'm frightened an scared
Up here all alone
In a chill that seeps
Deep into the bone
But none must know
None must see
These glossy eyes
Deep in reverie
Of times long gone
Forgotten for sure
When I was new
And oh so pure
The strings were straight
The paint was shining
And every cloud
Had a silver lining
But now all I am
Is old an used
By a child
Who only abused
Didn't know better
So on him I can't blame
Because to that boy
It was just one big game
