You hide me in your closet
Your room of secrets
I'm your prisoner
A dirty little secret
I only come out
When you need me
But, I want something more
Something real
Do you see my needs in my tears?
Do you feel my pain when you leave me?
No, because I'm just a toy to you
Because I don't have real feelings?
I had a crush on you for twelve years
You knew that and liked me too
But, why use me for your one need?
Is it because I'm too shy to speak?
No, you don't know me like you thought you knew
I'm not a toy, I'm a real girl
Who is falling for you
But, you don't want that
You want me to be a quiet little doll
So, you can have your way
When you are done, you put me away
For another day
The more you do this to me
I want this secret to be reveal
But you don't want that...
Why am I still here...
This skin you put on me is not my own...
I want everything to be real...

Very sad tale that I can relate to too well. Its a scary and disheartening situation to be in; I'm thankful I got out of it.
Very vivid imagery and the emotions here i was able to connect to. Marvelous job with this write.

You could add a bit more depth and detail to it, and tell what he use's you for, not completley but maybe hint a bit more, I really didn't get it was. Otherwise, I've seen lot's of girl's go through this, I have a few friend's who tell me there dating someone but swear me to secreacy only because there boyfriend dosen't want anybody to know, if they say that, there not ready for a real relationship. Great write
thanks for entering my contest

I love the idea of being hidden in a closet as a secret but i think it could have been stronger if it hadn't been so literal. But it was still a great write. You really have something here, but I don't know if you've found all of it yet.
