The Child and the Toy

This is one I wrote based off an experience with a recent boy. He's actually been the inspiration for a lot of poems this summer. Thanks for breaking my heart! It was a big help!

Used, cheated,

And lied to.

I was nothing,

Nothing but...

A toy.

Like a child,

You played with me,

And you played with me,

Until you got bored.

Then you found

Someone totally new.

A shinier, prettier,

And fancier toy.

I was buried

In your far off,

Distant memories.

Forgotten, broken,

And still being lied to.

Grow up.

You're not a child,

anymore, at all.

Come on, darling,

Be a man.
