Toy

You play with my heart
Pull at my strings
Still, you keep smiling
While to me, pain it brings
You push my buttons
Then toss me away
Yet, keep me close
For a rainy day
Out of frustration,
You throw me around
Losing some of my pieces 
That will never be found
As you grow tired
Without a word to say
You take one last look
And put me away
