guys, this isn't meant to be a "dirty" poem i mean playing as in with my emotions..k?

It sat alone up on the shelf
Looking so brand new.
It was everything you wanted
So you took it home with you.

It was your favortie "toy"
You played with it everyday.
Until one day you thought
You'd throw the toy away.

You threw it in the garbage
You didn't care to see its face
It must've cluttered up your room
Did it take up too much space?

I was your little toy
and you wanted all to see.
That I was your little toy
And you loved to "play" with me.

A little toy once broken
Can never be the same.
And if that is what you wanted,
Then you won your little game.

Nice ending.  I wouldn't change much about this poem, but you really didn't have to blatantly explain the metaphor in stanza 4.  It takes away from the interperetational value.
But like I said, good ending sentiment.

I understood that it was not dirty. It was great. I also understand that "used" feeling and it blows. *hugs* to you.

Baby,

Boy do I understand that used feeling. It is not a good feeling at all. *hugs*

Hey Heather,
  You already know how much I like this poem!  But it makes me really sad.  I hope that somebody picks you off the shelf and keeps you forever.

I liked this alot, i have been there in a similar manor, and i think you expressed yourself very well

"Toying" with emotions
