Broken Toy Man (PT2)

I see my reflection in the window seal
where I sit and collect dust
my once big bright round eyes show water stains
and that smile is now just a smirk of a toy who no longer feels he is enough
I've battled with questions unanswered, craving so much more
to once again feel that feeling she felt for me that day in the store
but instead I set and  watch her admire other toys that are nothing like me
and other times she looked at me like she didn’t  even like me
but today was different, I saw reflection in her gaze
something I just now notice she was doing the last few days
she walked over to me and picked me up twirled me around and smiled
oh how I felt joy but there was a bit of sadness in her eyes now
She held me in her hand and gave me a kiss and said she only had one wish
that she never would forget all the good memories that still exist
back when I was her closest friend
and when we felt our childish antics would never end
she dusted me off a bit something she had so long neglected to do
never considering the wear and tear I endured helping her get through
but now I can see that she gets it, sadly now I am to broken up for her now
to play with me would not be same as when I was new and she was child
for I her Broken Toy man bears the scars of the wars she put me through
the heart breaks of being thrown to the side not knowing what to do
cause I've given limbs for her, but still never stop reaching out with this one arm
and though old and beat up I never lost my imaginative charm
I see a tear fall as she smiles at me and then a little girl walks in
she tells me we have had great moments together and for that she will always be my friend
but she  must give me away , not so much for the little girl but because I deserve it
to be happy , to be appreciated and it hurt when I heard it
but I knew she was right , I knew this was a fight
and I knew she was only thinking about me for once in her life
The new little girl held me she was so glad to have me
she embraced me like she would never replace me
but still I was a bit  nervous not quite sure where me and the new little girl were headed at
but right before she let me walk away with her she whispered to me
“Don't worry if she doesn't treat you right then I’ll be back.”
