Thrown Away :: Ensanity :: Original Poetry

Thrown Away

Why did you have me, then throw me away,

I didn't ask to be here, you're the one that wanted to play.

I only cried because I was hungry or even wet,

For my little hands could not do what I wanted them to yet.

I would cry when my belly hurt or my mouth from a tooth,

If you really knew me at all, you'd know I wasn't asking for food.

I would cry for your love or to feel your tender kiss,

Instead I was introduced to the feeling of your fist.

Now I lie here all cold and so very lonely,

Wishing to take back the cries that once laid upon me.

I am crying now for there's no one in sight,

It's damp and dark here with only little light.

Breathing is getting harder as it feels like a weight,

I hope you will acknowledge my death on this date.

I am sorry I was a burden for the mistake you once made,

I never asked to be here, you're the one that wanted to play.
