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
