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.

It may be a very long wait as technology waits on no one. Oh I remember that game and it was a lot of fun and if it was the only one around it would be a lot of fun again. Sometimes too many things are lost and forgotten on the pages on history. Nice write.

I would gladly love this game who is lost and feeling lonely. Amazing perspective of love and wanting to be loved. I miss Atari!!!

Amazing how we move on to the newer models when the old ones are just as good and running. Great metaphor for recycling.

Very nicely done!
