The immensity of the night sky,
In her lovely black eyes,
The fixed pale pink smile,
On her porcelain skin,
The newly woven dress,
Adorning her carefully crafted body,
Perfect she was—My new doll.
A patient listener to my chatter,
A silent guest for my tea parties,
A companion for my rendezvous,
Never did a day go by,
Without her by my side—Reassurance,
Yes, she will be here no matter what,
She was mine—My exciting doll.
New things I had discovered,
Friends, books, and school,
And under the bed she lay—Insignificant,
The once curly hair, tangled with dust,
The dull eyes, the faded smile,
The torn dress on her frail body,
There she was—My worthless doll.
It had served its purpose,
Amusement for a couple of months,
Did it need to be cherished?
Placed on a pedestal for admiration?
Did I love her?
Did I value her enough?
After all, it was just a doll…Was it not?

Interesting poem...
things that we cherished once, how they seem insignificant now.
How what we think of something changes over time...
those little things..
my doll is under a massive load of books...
the title and the last line struck me. i'm thinking the title is not a typo-which could also have been "My doll" but instead is- "Me Doll"... "After all, it was just a doll…Was it not?"
