Thrown Away

I touch you

                    Like I did

                               When you were 5

    And your parents ignored you

And I was the only thing

   That was permanent 

      To you

Like I did when you were 3

      And couldn't stop crying

Because your dog died

      And you thought it was your fault

But you-

               You don't believe in me anymore

And you ignore me

When I tried to talk to you

                                 Yesterday                                    

              You screamed

"Shut up!"

   And asked

           If you were going insane

But you're wrong

                It's me who's going insane

Because I thought you needed me

                                                                                                           And now you don't

But I still need you

                                                                                                             Since without you

I wouldn't have existed

Take responsibility

              Play with me forever

                                                        Please

                                                  I don't want you to grow up

And forget me

                                                                                                              Like all the others

Come back to me

You

        You're

                 The only one

Who'd play with me

                                And once 

                                               I was the only one you'd play with

But now

                                                                                                            You don't need me

You

                                                                                                               Leave me behind

You've

                                                                                                               Thrown me away

And

       I fade-

Come-

          Back...

No...
