I lay down still

At the bottom of the bin

Under mountains of trinkets

Filled up to the brim

For many a year

I sat there alone

With heavy weight atop me

Dreaming of a home

But that rainy autumn day

Proved to be a delight

And what was always darkness

Was replaced by the light

You cleared a path

And plucked me up dearly

You found me, you chose me

You treasured me sincerely

Those days were the brightest

I still wish them to be true

You fixed my broken heart

That was long overdue

Yet little did I know

Those gestures weren't real

You put on a grand act

To win over my appeal

Anyone who's seen

Knows the first will never last

Fittingly, it seems

It'll blend in with the past

But you've never left my mind

My one and only hope

The first to ever manage

To bring a lowly smile afloat

Now I'm buried once again

And I'm paying the fee

Just please let me forget

The day that you found me.
