Toy Warfare

You break me with your smile,

With the light in your eyes

You tear me apart

With your soft goodbyes.

Falling to pieces,

Ripped to the core,

Yet I can't get enough of your laughter

So I will hide all of my sores.

You rip my heart from my chest,

When you choose her over this,

Yet right when I sew it back together

I find that I can no longer resist.

Love is a dangerous thing

Built to destroy.

Wind me up and use me,

The perfect lover's toy.

Throw me down the staircase,

A slinky made to bend

March me with the soldiers

To their bloody ends.

Use me how you must,

Just let me be your bedtime bear

If at night your arms are around me

I'll forget about the toy warfare.
