My tea bag has come undone
in a dream
or so it seemed

I swept up your droppings
and gave them away
time for someone else to play

Even as I did
I wondered if..
you could still give me a lift

Symbolically I hate
what it could mean
but after all, it was a dream

I think...

I felt it
I wept it
I awoke angry with it

There was blood
you didn't care
you just wanted me bare

So,
in the end, your droppings still infest
not to worry, I believe I got the best

I'll leave the rest...

and get a new tea bag

This was so full of such unique metaphors that it was amazing to read.

This was great, I love the metaphor throughout. Nice work!

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
