Did you forget? Tucked under a sweater Not your favorite, but it used to be In that box you never visit In that corner you never think of Covered in dust and losing what lasts of me You left me here Did you forget? Perhaps you had lost track of me back then? Or had you been looking ever since? Was I so replaceable? Was I something not worth finding? You would stay up all night looking for a pen Not your favorite, but it used to be Engraved _Ma Belle_ __ But you left me here Did you forget? We used to stay up for hours And your eyes were always searching for me And your voice was always calling for me And I lived for those few treasured moments When you grabbed the other dollies And commanded me into domestic life And spoke worlds into me _"Time to play house!"_ and _"You play the Mommy!"_ __ Not your favorite, but I used to be You left me here Did you forget? Or did you grow out of me?
