Sold Out

Sold Out
	
Wasting and investing, the time limited, we conversed.
We exchanged them like goods in the fair,
You brought few, emotions I had reserved.
The left out sold out, you delayed, in despair.

Appeasing and teasing, the approaching heart, we smiled.
We displayed them like the care for a purchased device, 
I remember the ones, I found ingenuously compiled. 
The left out sold out, when unnoticed, to disguise. 

Discussing and thinking, from the thoughtful mind, we dreamt.
We colored them like the canvas before a kid, 
I remember, the ones those evolved, need attempt. 
The left out sold out, without hope, in to the pit. 

Convincing and conflicting, the transparent identity, we walked.
The hidden we saw like the autumn droplets scattered,
Few those matched, in aspiration pot, we collected.
The left out sold out, like the vapors, disappeared.
