big, beady, black, shining eyes,

pink sewn nose, and mouth.

a creation of another, though it now means more to me.

it sits against the wall,

staring at the same place,

for endless hours.

it has no feelings,

but holds some of mine.

it has no memories,

but holds a dear one to me.

it has no heart,

but holds part of mine.

a gift so strong,

that hides in plain sight.
