Pardon me, dear, but I shall take my leave, I intended to stay, yet I see I’m not needed. Was I truthfully ever? What hope was there, funny little speck of joy, Has been ****** out by a single; Word, breath, phrase. I shouldn’t reach out, Lest I get grabbed and forced to drain myself of, Time, energy, caring, love. When it’s just an insignificant boost to their day. When I am nothing more than words on a page; When I have faded to nothing more but a conversation. I’ll stab my heart before I let myself feel that pain again. Anything is better, death even is better, than that feeling, I’m a toy.
