Time After Time Toys Break

Pieces Pieces

They break 

Crash. Smack



Are they toys?

Red Red

As sweet as strawberries

Fills them, eyes and hair.



I don’t understand 

Nor do they,

This is what mother wanted

And I won’t have it any other way.



Are they dead?

Toys they are

No matter how much they scream, no matter how much they break

This is what mother wanted 



And I won’t have it any other way.
