Lost and Forgotten
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
Ok it looks like he’s forgotten me again. Always
I can tell, by the way he doesn’t speak to me for days
Yes he’ll be wanting me very much
But when he comes for me, there’ll be no kissing and such.
Looks like he does this every time there’s a party
His birthday is when it happens usually
The last time this happened was about a year ago
I've vanished. . . .Oh yes he’ll miss me I know
We always go everywhere together, even bed,
But sometimes he’s careless, unfeeling, emotionally dead
And just leaves me without a second thought
The fact that I was shoved here in the back of the sock drawer ought
To have warned me , here with unusual smells and holes,
Definitely a place for lost or banished souls
Because I alarmed him several times at night with my beep
And he couldn’t get back to sleep.
He keeps threatening to buy another phone but I know him
He won’t cos new phones are too complex and he’s pretty dim.
