~~Broken Doll~~

I be not yours, beg not

For my hand, for my eyes.

I care not for you--do you not

See the things I show?

Do you not see

The agony I have entrusted

To your not-so-tender care?

I love not you; I belong

To another.

I serve not thee.

I serve another, love another--

So please, abandon me to him.

Return me to him.

Sir, Sir....No.

I've refused you enough, must I

Abandon you as well?

I've turned away, left away.

Forgiven you not, so go!

I have said enough reasons, explained

To you why I bow to you not.

Sir, I treat you with the respect

You requested of me--this is all

I can do for you.

Don't love me, don't ask for it.

I don't wish for it, and I never will.

I served once, and it destroyed me--

Must I serve again?

No, no I shall not.

No, no I will not.

Turn from me now, good brave Sir.

Leave me, good brave Sir.

Abandon me, good brave Sir.

Go, else I will have to hate you.

I desire only a friend--must you

Desire me so?

I will leave if I must, you matter not.

My recovery matters more--

I am so very sick

Of being

A broken doll.

Played with too much,

Used too much

Too young.

Far, far too young!

I could get revenge.

I could save another....

At the cost of my pride.

No...

None shall pass behind

The wall I have built

Without an invitation.

Secrets that I scream

Are only revealed

When I am willing.

So turn, turn Sir.

Go, go Sir. I shall

Never serve another.

I love another, and another

Shall be the one to save me.

And he, ah he....

Shall be the one I wed.
