And the pain will too”
But it’s been a long time
Since I was anyone to you

And I still bleed
And I still cry
And I still wonder
If this pain will ever die

How can scars fade
if they never heal?
How can I feel better
if this pain is all I feel?

I haven’t smiled
In three years
And the only light in my eye
Is reflected off my tears

But you still shine
In my memory
And when I close my eyes
Your face is all I see

I know now
You’re never coming back
So for all eternity
There will be something that I lack

My happiness
And any joy
I’ve been discarded
Just another useless toy

This scar won’t heal
And this pain won’t too
Because it’s been a long time
Since I was anyone to you [comments] => 3 [counter] => 268 [topic] => 64 [informant] => true [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ambiguous )

A College Kids Toy

They say “scars fade

But it’s been a long time

And I still bleed
And I still cry
And I still wonder
If this pain will ever die

How can scars fade
if they never heal?
How can I feel better
if this pain is all I feel?

And the only light in my eye
Is reflected off my tears

But you still shine
In my memory
And when I close my eyes

So for all eternity
There will be something that I lack

My happiness
And any joy
I’ve been discarded
Just another useless toy

This scar won’t heal
And this pain won’t too
Because it’s been a long time
Since I was anyone to you

The title drew me in to read, and the emotion expressed kept me reading. Can't say that I have ever grieved a loss for so long but the rawness of feeling like a non-entity to someone never really goes away.

At first I thought you were speaking
of a person but now I'm not sure if
you were'nt refering to an actual toy.
I see that this is a departure from your
other style of writing. I think you do them
both well. I enjoyed the first and sixth
stanza. Truly , Doug

This poem spoke to me. I to have grieved for years over being discarded and I think you captured that pain beautifully. Great write.
