To you I'm just a
pencil. 
I had a nice fine point 
until you broke me. 

                          
Then you sharpened 
me back up again. 
You kept sharpening me
until I was a mere nub. 

                          
You kept me along for 
as long as I worked for
you. Then when I broke that
last time, you threw me away. 

                          
Then you replaced me. 

                          
But what happens when
that pencil no longer suits
your needs? Will you do to
it like you did to me?
