My little Rag Doll

by marlie   Nov 12, 2005


I sit here in the rain
on a Sunday afternoon
trying to wash away
Hide my eyes from every
reflection being left in the puddles

My mind is swarmed
with thoughts of every single word
that I have ever heard
I wish to just drain away into the deep,
dark sky Where perhaps I could become invisible
just like you always said I was

I remember every day
from the day that we first said hello
And I remember every word that
preceded our final goodbyes
Donâ??t you feel like somethingâ??s
missing completely from your life?

Silly me to forget
that I never meant
anything to you
I was just your little rag doll sewn in black
and blue with scars of red and bruises too

I was just your cheap doll
that got you through the night
Just so that when you woke up
you felt better knowing I was on my knees
Every tear from my cheek was a check in your book,

your keeping score of this
Iâ??m down by five and youâ??re up by 10
You played my heart like checkers in the park
and there wasnâ??t eevenan opponent
An easy win one would say and youâ??d
nod your head and lick your lips

Knowing that at anytime Iâ??d feel hell
for your happiness
But now here I am in the rain
on a Sunday afternoon trying

not to cry out in pain
Here I am looking at the footprint
you softly left behind
My heart is in a trillion pieces and
you say itâ??s for the better
But you were wrong about everything this time

why donâ??t you just say it
You got bored and left me here so you could find another
Someday someone will find me here,
a rag doll in the rain
And paint these scars and
dry these eyes and
Iâ??ll finally get away
