Forgotten

Sitting on the shelf

Waiting and watching

All the others being sold.

Leaving me to sit with dust.

 

What's wrong with me?

Why can't I be sold?

I want to feel the warmth of love

While being played.

 

This is unfair

I am a cool game!

But when the new ones come out

I am forgotten.

 

My classic games

Cannot compare with army ones.

I feel unwanted

I feel like I am broken.

 

I want to make a smile

A smile on a child's face

Or even an adult

Just whatever it takes.

 

I don't want to live on this shelf

I want to be comfy at a home

Waiting for my owner to play with me.

I want to feel wanted.

 

Sadly as time flies bye

I am forgotten

So I sit here and wait

Waiting for that love.

Oh wow I really love the way you wrote this. Creativity at its best. I feel that way more often then not. It's scary to think that you will not be found. Well done.

Melancholy, nostalgic, beautiful... i loved the whole idea of the poor game, sitting alone on a shelf - reminds me of the Little houseless math in Nancy Mitford's book the pursuit of love. Really tragic but truly lovely!

AWWWWWWWWW this makes me want to bring my ps2 from my basement and play it. This is a very good poem, I get alot of meanings from it but I like the more humanistic approach to it. Very Very good even though I prefer poems that rythmn throughtout
but this is better that good
keep up the good work

Intriguing to say the least. A hidden message, clearly, behind this piece. Nice job.
