Discarded Treasure
I’m left forgotten
in the shadows again
Not in your thoughts
not on your mind
I’m abandoned here
all alone
trying to figure out
where to go from here
all on my own
You just discard me
like an unloved
former treasure
that no longer brings pleasure
to your heart
So I’m broken apart
and scattered around
I’m stumbling, hurt
and falling down
I’m nothing but torn
and tattered pages
you’ve written through the ages
