Action Figure

I was your play thing

Another figurine in the collection.

But the more you wound me up

And watched me march around

For your amusement,

The more my gears and patience wore thin.

Scratching myself

Far from mint condition.

Bits of heart breaking 

Into choking hazards

Unable to breathe

If not handled with care.

But soon you’ll grow tired 

Of these toyed emotions

And find someone else to play with.
