Vase

I've been replaced by another.

Thrown in the trash.

No one cares.

Where I'm headed now,

I don't even know.

I used to stand there like a statue.

I was the one who held the flowers

and when I was empty,

People used me as a penny jar.

Do they notice I'm gone?

Will they ever notice?

All I did was stand there pretty.

I hung my head down low

Like that wilting flower that once inhabited me.

That was thrown out too.

I wondered whatever happened to it?

What a sad, sad flower.

Boy, do I miss it.
