I'm just like that old doll in the corner
always have been in your life
but put away to the side now

I'm just something old now
I'll never be your favourite doll again
I'm just old news

I've been replaced by newer dolls now
who are your new best friends
and are much more important than me now

I'm just a tatterned doll in the corner of your room
thats been through all the rough times in your life
and listened everytime you cried

I was never mean to you
I was always a good friend to you
so why am I not good enough for you now?

I feel like I've been thrown in a dusty closet
never to be found again
and it breaks my heart in two

Why is it that the best things in your life
always leave me
I feel so alone and scared

I wish I could go back to tomorrow
when we were close again
and experience all the fun we had

It's been months now since we've spent time together
it's been months now
since we've had a long conversation

Who do things have to change between us
I don't want to deal with another seperation
from someone that I love as a sister

Maybe I should give up on best friends now
because they always leave me in the dark
and replace me with new friends

I allways thought that friends were forever
but you've proved me wrong now
because now there is no future with our friendship

I wish you all the best in your futer without me
and maybe the best will turn out for us
but I know it will never happen

I had my time in the light with you
but my light has burnt out now
and it is being shined on others

I leave you now with only a few words
you were always my best friend and sister
and I will miss you so much

It always hurts when loved ones move on to another stage of their lives, and seem to leave you behind. You sister will always love you, and I'm sure she doesn't mean to make you feel this way, but she's changed. You've changed, also. Nothing can stay the same, but you can always share your love.

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the diffrence.

  So many times have I been that doll...I only hope I don't make my own sister feel this way...I loved the way you wrote this...Don't let your differences keep you and your sister apart...It doesn't have to be that way...

This was sad, i hope it all turns out for the best.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Thanks guys for your replies. The person in this poem isn't actually my real sister, I don't even have a sister, but she is like a sister to me, and it's hard to let go of someone who is like that for me when I've never had that kind of relationship in my life before. But I'm hopeing that it will work out because it's hard to let go sometimes. I'm glad you all liked my poem, and I hope to hear from more of you in passions. Thanks... poe
