Throw me Away

 Times were good.
They seemed so happy.
Nothing could make the day even better.
But soon...
Things started to change.
Lost of interest took place.
The toy begged to stay,
And to remember the good times.
But you couldn't hear.
You wanted something more complicated.
You wanted something better.
You wanted out.
As you carry and look at the toy for the last time,
You see something in its eyes.
Emptiness and alone.
Nothing to grab onto,
Nothing to hold in return.
You put it in its box,
Saying your peace treaty.
To make yourself feel good,
You tell it lies,
You say that it was the best toy you ever had,
And that there was nothing like it.
Tragedy struck the toy as it falls into the unwanted section.
Poor toy,
It felt good inside,
With all the lies of love.
Then you got a new toy,
Playing with it in hand,
You watch the garbage man take the once loved toy away.
As the toy cries and finally dies,
You continue to live.
The toy knew.
It was counting down the days it had to enjoy life...
When you stopped and looked at the used toy for the last time,
It looked back and cried,
Throw me away,
Like I knew you would

Gah this was so damn sad. I got teary eyes. It reminds me of my childhood. Been so alone and feeling so broken in such a screwed up family and my best friend been my dog and my teddy. Then when my dog died I cried and cried and I still cry about it. Then one day my teddy was no longer there. It was taken away from me. And again I was so alone it was like a piece of me had been taken away from me and I was so vunrable all over again.

Great write

This was dark, sad and reminded me of the christmas special with Rudolph.. the land of unwanted toys.. that special used to make me cry when I was younger.. cause so many times I felt that way.. like a broken and expired toy in my sadder days.. battered, torn and left to the curb. Loved the flow and honesty that poured forth in this.. so sad when we fall for someone and feel unworthy or like they will leave us.. when that manifests itself alot of times it usually happens. I hope you find the confidence to not give up finding that special person... who will help you feel better and happier than this other person did. Have to be a survivor in the fight for love.. always learning to take the best knowledge and using it in future endeavors. To stay stuck feeling like the above is sad.. everyone is truly worthy of love.. but there certainly is no love without pain! Embrace that pain.. move forward.. like life.. the show must go on! True happiness can not be found though in the arms of another.. before finding it in yourself first! Thank you so much for sharing! =)
