Another Toy

Meera Mere

You feel so good.
I keep wondering—
would you be the same
if I were yours?

Or am I just a toy
you liked on a shelf,
lifted once, admired,
then left to gather dust?

Do I become the next thing
you’ve outgrown—
moved from hand to hand,
then tossed away,
forgotten as another yesterday?

          A heartfelt meditation on fear of impermanence in love, beautifully simple but emotionally piercing. Nicely written.

            Wonderful words Meera but I am sure you would not ever be abandoned.

              this is so true, and such a universal phenomenon - to play with people's feelings, and then discard them like a broken toy.
              well written..
