A Certain Kind of Love

The little doll that sits there in the corner
Forgotten ,forsaken and abandoned by time.
The little doll that sits there all alone in the corner
Who once had a name the doll had forgotten even that who once was loved unconditionally
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned in the corner.
Who once the little girl played with slept with and refused to leave her side
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned dejected in the corner.
Who came to know what it meant to be loved and cherished.
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned dejected miserable in the corner.
One day when the little girl was not so little and most of the toys mysteriously vanished from her room.
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned dejected miserable in the corner.
The doll was tossed aside on the cold floor left to be forgotten evermore .
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt in the corner.
At first the doll thought it was a mistake
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt full of pain  in the corner.
But as days turned into weeks and weeks became months which eventually became years.
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry  in the corner. The doll realized what was to become of her after all she was but a toy
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry betrayed  in the corner.

An object that could never love, care or cry….
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry  betrayed forgotten   in the corner.
But she had come to know love, bliss and happiness but now these feelings were washed out by more dismal things
An object that could never love, care or cry….
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry  betrayed forgotten in the corner.
…..or so she thought
A few years later One day when the not so little girl came home from school
The girl tore up the room until she found her friend
The little doll that sits there all alone abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry  betrayed forgotten in the corner.
…..or so she thought
The not so little girl locked the door sank down then hugged the doll to her chest all the while looking scared and sad
The little doll heard shouting from down stairs "Bitch……….ow stop that……….Call ……..Jane……..ow dishes." When the not so little girl started middle school the shouting became more common but the doll thought nothing of it
The little doll that sat there in the girls lap.
The doll saw that the girl was a wreck breathing heavy with a hand over her mouth and tears down her face. The little doll that sat there in the girls lap. The not so little girl started apologizing to the doll telling her she was terrified and sorry. But then
CRASH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG
Then nothing …..
The girl froze and her eyes went wide with terror.
The little doll that sat there concerned in the girls lap. Soon the sound of brooms could be heard along with more shouting
"Throws dishes……………...LIAR…………….Just…..friend"
The doll noticed the not so little girl had changed the mirth had been wiped clean from her eyes now there was only fear
The little doll that sat there concerned in the girls lap.
The doll observed the not so little girl covered with bruises on her arms and a cut on her face the not so little girls body shook and she gripped the doll even tighter and muttered " I'm scared I'm so scared help" The girl slept with her door locked that night and with the doll by her side. The little doll that la there confused by the girls side. The next morning the doll was put on the nightstand it went on like this for awhile
The little doll that sat there on the nightstand wondering.
When the not so little girl became a woman and was going off to parts unknown she picked up the doll and said "your coming with me". The little doll that began to love the girl again.
When the woman got married when the married lady became a mommy to two beautiful twin girls the doll was there. The doll became loved by the whole family. When the mommy became older the doll was there. When the older lady had to bury her one daughter and her daughters family the doll was there. When the older lady was blessed with grandchildren by her other daughter and much rejoicing was had the doll was there. When the old lady's husband died and she just stared out the window the doll was there. When the old lady was  on her death bed she turned to the doll and said something that the doll longed to her "You.. Were always there thank you I know during my adolescence that I forgot you and i'm so sorry I know you can't probably here this your just a toy after all but I never ever not even once forgot your name….Felicity please Continue to watch over my family like you watched over me I love you so very much thank you my friend…"When the old lady died Felicity was there The doll that had sat in the corner feeling abandoned, dejected, miserable, confused, hurt, full of pain, angry betrayed now felt only loved.
