toys

Stranded on an island 

desolate and cold 

Is how I would describe our relationship

A gaping rift standing between us 

Mocking and taunting my every effort to reach for you

To shorten the distance


Your smile, poison 

Sinking deeply to the bones of my being

As your actions contradict your words

A peaceful cover over your scheme inside

Like over done makeup you slather it on

For a alluring mask which hooks me 


You kill me with sarcasm 

Yet revive me with sugar

 Sweet honey words almost warm to my soul

Your voice so mellow and gentle 

Setting me a feather adrift to your every wish

You use me


I am a tool a dumb gullible being 

You use carelessly that's how you see me 

Only when you feel a hole swallowing time, boredom

Do you even notice me

Even then your amusement arises from my misery

Seeing me powerless to your control, I’m a dreidel.


I keep following your every spin

Playing me as a song on repeat

What an honor to be picked by you 

Out from your box of toys

I still love you

Are you having fun yet?
