Paint Me Black Dolly

Hand-picked from the shelves
the letters on my box shining new-
You picked me instead of others,
So I am property to you.
There were others who were prettier
and some even had a voice
I looked at you in disbelief-
Had you made the right choice?
A boy who plays with dolls
may seem a little strange
But Paint Me Black dolly
may seem a bit deranged.
I Was Number one in your life.
you did everything you could to me-
painted my toes, hair and lips.
your eyes could see right through me.
You made me say, "I love You"
though you never said it back.
You made it seem like you care
dollies don't have feelings though
so maybe they weren't really there.
And then I saw her come in:
Blond hair, blue eyes, typical Goldilocks.
Hello New Dolly! Goodbye Paint Me Black
I looked down at what I was in-

A box that was labeled "trash".
