I’d pick you up and put you on my shelf
“Collect ‘em all” to live with me in my hell
I only play pretend
I take stock and check you off my list
I am the cause of our plastic affection
You are not my friend
I’ll keep you in the box
Posed, away from harm
You’ll never feel my touch
But what’s touch without the love
I can see you from afar
Between a clear barrier
I’ll never hear a noise
Because you’ll only be my toy
I feel your smooth edges between my thumbs
You’re almost real enough to love
Please don’t look at me that way
You’re one of a kind
Of set that sits in my mind
I’ll cherish you like a charm
Stacked with all the others
You’ll grow with the times
I’ll be there to take what’s mine
I’ll never hear a noise
Because you’ll only be my toy
Packaged and fake
Now with Kung-Fu love that easily breaks
Look what you’ve done
And face the eyes of innocent ones
