Toy BoxA Poem by AJGibsonMy (now ex) best friend ignored me for a few weeks before she replaced me with someone who has money and a car. So I'm pretty pissed and upset.I was once told by you that I was a gift That you would play with me till the end I was once told that you would always be there with me That you would always love me When you first opened me up I was brand new and shiny I had a painted smile on face but it felt real when I looked at you You held me close and it felt real even though I was not Every day after we were together playing and laughing It was a wonderful feeling That, someone, wanted to play with me Someone wanted to pull me at night while they slept Of course some days you wouldn’t pick me up Sometimes I could see someone else come over and you would talk to them I wasn’t sure why because you had me to talk to But that smile on my face remained not because it was painted on but because I could still see you Some days I would sit there and wait for you to come back to play You were too tired to even look at me Sometimes you wouldn’t even think about me I tried not to worry too much, I’m sure your kind needed some rest So I would wait until you were ready You would come back eventually Sometimes longer than others but you would come back And the painted smile on my face would feel real again I would feel real again You would use your shirt to wipe the dust from my eyes Adjust my small clothing Bush my hair gently because one would stick out from its place Even hold my hand and cry because you said you missed me so much You told me I was made for you That you wish your gift was real So that I would stay with you forever And I said I would I was ready and willing Because it all felt real with you I loved you as much as you said you loved me You threw me into an old box like you had the others I thought I was broken like the others You wouldn’t play with me because I needed to be fixed I thought I wasn’t good enough I thought I was the problem I wasn’t what you wanted I was only temporary I wasn’t something you needed I was something of convenience Little did I know that I wasn’t the first I wasn’t the only one who had fallen for your affection To me, you were my everything But to you, I was just another toy. © 2018 AJGibson |
