discard me in your
love heap mire
of played with toys.
tattered torn and jaded
you've had your fill
with your joy of me.
pull my strings hear not
sounds within,
the springs are broken
from happy pleasures
repeating my speak.
my buttons, chipped
and thread worn, hanging
from the twist
of your contempt.
arms, seams frayed
at the edges, holes
within my spirit that
the stuffing of my
soul exposed.

you loved the smell
of my newness once.
the vibration of my voice
once filled your ears
with smiles.
my fabric, heaven
for you to touch.
colors of my
tapestry, vibrant
in your eyes.
you would kiss me.
I was yours.

your youth of my
pleasure gone,
older now.
new fire's desire toys.

perhaps, shelf and I
are made for each other.
in your age, will you
tenderly pick me up
wipe off the dust
and remember?

least... I don't sell
for a nickel
in the yard sale this year.

"the stuffing of my
soul exposed."

~ There may be a part of you that is "Broken", dear "Seraphim" and the stuffing of your soul may be exposed, but you have talent that shines like gold!!!

Angel, can you ever write! Rise and shine! You are a star and please don't let some Earthling ever drag you down!

Giving you a very warm, welcoming pip hug,

Earth Angel

EA;  Thank you so very much!
My breaks heal continuously every day.
I do have a good supply of bandages for my broken
     pieces, I just hope I never need duct tape.

suthern;  newness, ah... never to forget, just like the smell of a new box of crayons.
My better half makes me feel like a new open box every day.
I have a good supply of coloring books.
Thank you so much for the read!
