    Poem Commentary

    For children who loved and were discarded...

    DISCARDED

    Always something different

    Usually without thought

    Sometimes between often and soon

    Our love he slowly bought

     

    Along the way we drifted

    Under pretenses mostly false

    Above believing differently

    Blind to future loss

     

    Before the eye could blink

    After taking all our hearts

    Upon his time of finding new

    Left us with broken parts

     

    Never thinking of his wreckage

    Almost damaged beyond repair

    Always wary now of anyone

    Showing any sign of care

     

    Under a cloak of indifference

    Beyond the scope of most

    Over all the years of life

    Love remained a ghost
