PLAY-TOY

By Deathkitten

Maybe it's comical in it's own way
to dirty, tug at & lose your play toy
from day to day
Crying later
only to find it again
to play with it & toss on the floor
Jealousy will surface
when someone else uses it
So you take it away
hide it or complain
& when it's ragged
or you're just plain bored
It goes to the trash
or maybe you'll horde
but the play toy knows
these things never last
It's here then it's gone so fast
You'll get a new one
or simply upgrade
to repeat the process
Have it your way
& appease your needs
Do as you please
but I guess it doesn't matter
if you've grown apart
cause no such play toy
could ever have a heart

    You and all your stabbing last lines- that's my favorite sort of read.. When the end just feels like a knife; you've mastered this

    Wonderful personification Jess and makes me question now, the ultimate fate of my rubber ducky (I haven't taken a bath in ages) - oh, but lots of showers, cheers!
