Toy

Jabberwocky

There is no room within your care
For such as I with greying hair
Who's best years are behind him now
True love from such you won't allow
No matter I twice seeded you
And raise that which inside you grew
Rather would you choose the boy
To treat you like a favoured toy
And throw you cruelly back again
To be caught up with wanting men.

  • Comment from author about the poem: More a cold observation than a grimace of pain. I changed the last line from "To be snatched up by..." to better express the multiple meanings I originally intended.

      I'm good at bitter. I'm doing it from memory now, which is better.
