I was a brand new toy

You played with,

Innocently

But played with

Excessively,

Till you got bored.

It was so sudden,

Never saw it coming.

And now I can barely see you,

Dust over my eyes

But what little I see of you,

Is so much more

Than you see of me — Never noticed,

Never more a part of your world.

I remember when it started

Coming apart,

Now I don't even get

That little from you, anymore -

To be covered in your dirty clothes.

Today, I'm relegated

To that spot you kicked me,

Accidentally,

But with finality.

You didn't even notice

I ended up under the dresser,

I ended up here.

So suddenly things changed,

So suddenly they can end..

I was a brand new toy

You played with,

Innocently

But played with

Excessively

Till you got bored

It was so sudden -

How we played,

How we played

Just the night before -

It was so sudden,

I never saw it coming.

Can I crawl out of here?
