Broken Toys

Broken toys are prone to sorrow.
Broken toys are prone to hurt.
Broken toys are covered in dust.
Broken toys are covered in dirt.

Smash a dolly and break more than her bones.
A seemingly solid structure so easily shaken.
Her shatter and splatter was “no harm done”.
Now slivers, her identity was taken.

Smash a dolly and break more than her spirit.
What bothered her now never did before.
Through a façade grin her face told misery.
Through a façade grin her face told gore.

Before one leaves to depart,
open up to find room in your heart,
for a shattered and broken toy today.

Conjure every ounce of melotheatrics!
Toss boxes and bats to find room in your attics!
Like Rochester to Bertha, damn them up there to stay!
