I had asked you
To give me a distraction.
To give something to think off
You told me you.

You told me I was yours
A precious trinket
You won't throw away
Not the one on the mantle,
You know I don't like the spotlight,
But the one on your bedside table
The one beside your lamp
The ones that gives you light.

One day you picked me up
And I shattered.
I was so used to being untouched
I shattered when you held me.
You decided to get your broom
To pick the pieces up
You places me in a box
You left the box outside your home.

One day just sitting there
A girl she
Picked up the box
She took me home
She glued me together
I belong to her I'm her
Precious trinket.
She keeps me in a closet
I don't mind
Because I belong to someone.

One day you came into her house
You saw me
You told her I was yours.

But you threw me out
Broken and
Shattered
Not to bother with the
Ceramic glue
Not to bother anymore with me
And now I
Belong again.
