Notes About The Poem

A Old Toy

It always hurts to lose someone
Especially if you love them so
But sometimes it is meant to be
There is a loss that you can’t see
A loss of joy, inspiration and peace
A loss of goodness, faith and dreams
A loss of all those things that make
You know you’re loved unconditionally

It always hurts to lose one you love
But sometimes love simply is not enough
Your love is taken for granted and thrown
To the birds where it lands on fields of 
Disillusionment, discord and despair
All the anxiety that might be so rare
That it feels like you must have been there
Where love was thrown away like a old toy
No longer useful to the child playing games

It always hurts to lose someone you love
But, in all honesty, it is sometimes for the best
Some people are fake straight to the core
And don’t deserve the tender love you bestow
Some people don’t see the gift of your heart
As something worth cherishing above an addiction
And they’ll let you go for the cost of a pill
Reminding you that their love brings a chill

Judy Ball October 19, 2019 at 11:40 PM Alcohol and drugs go hand in hand both take a weak person and make them weaker turning them into something else. It makes them users and abusers of themselves as well as those who love them. It's a slow but sure death of the spirit as well as the body. A fine write my friend and I hope it isn't about someone you really did love. God Bless, JB

Sandra Adams October 19, 2019 at 10:02 PM i think those with good hearts often get hurt the most because the takers of the world use them, then toss them aside...i agree with the saying no good deed goes unpunished because it seems sometimes the more you give the more pain you get good one Gina...love this... hugs and blessings :)
