One day, when Skye wanted to play, another whom he thought was his friend broke the toy he brought.
Another day later, Skye got out his broken toy, trying to see if he could salvage it.
He found that he couldn't, and immediately, Skye started bawling.
Not because his toy was broken,
But because he himself felt like the broken toy.

This is very poetic. It's not the toy that necessarily mattered as much as how feelings were hurt by the one who broke the toy.
The toy is a great way to reference our feelings. You hope to repair damage done if someone you care about does something really mean-spirited. However some damage just can't be repaired. This damage can be 'healed' a bit but, like the toy, it will never be the same.
I relate with this through my lost marriage. I'm a very emotional lil' quacker and my ex-wife does not want to ever go near those sorts of feelings nor sentiments ever again. The only way we can get a 'friendship' is if I am able to fully relinquish all the feelings I had for her and, in essence, see her as if I'd see almost anyone else who I would casually speak with on a semi-regular basis.
This is far easier said than done.
So, like Skye here, the pain, from what I take away, is knowing something really special is gone, won't ever be the same, and there is uncertainty if such trust could ever be found again.
Feelings are fragile. When they are broken by someone you felt would never-ever do such a thing it makes it super hard to recover. You need to, of course, but doing so is extremely rough and requires the right series of events to make you feel brave enough to open yourself up. Even then you are forever tainted with the feeling of "Will this happen again? I must stay guarded.".
I like being a 'Little' because it is a time when you haven't been as destroyed by the hurts in the world. Putting Yosh in happier situations makes me happy by proxy. I'd never wish any of what I've been through in life upon anyone. Though, as some of us may agree, letting those who are ignorant to the struggles of others have a small taste of what it is like to be burdened in ways you did not ask for could help with increasing empathy in our world.

You're the only one who seems to actually have an understanding of the drawing, its not about the toy itself but rather the feeling of brokenness that stems from being betrayed by someone you trusted. Thank you for understanding, what you wrote is precisely what it is about - a scenario much like the one you shared.
