Abandoned

I find myself forgotten 
Rotting and rejected
Buried underneath a pile of disregard 
In a place that is neglected 

You dropped me unknowingly 
With careless, casual action
To you I am so meaninglessness 
A discarded former attraction 

Keenly I am so aware
My absence from your concern
Forsaken in my lonely grave
For your attention I yearn

I am now just meaningless 
Filled only with absence of hope
A broken shell of what once was
A worthless senseless joke

But still I’m always waiting
In my land of slow decay
Longing for just one more touch
Before I’m dust to be blown away
