NON-BIODEGRADABLE

Once upon a time
There was a little puppet boy
And a little human girl

The girl enjoyed the puppet very much
She would play pretend
Dress him up
Take him wherever she went
And the little puppet was content

And one night
She wished upon her starry eyes
For him to be brave
To be truthful
To be unselfish
To be a real boy
To stay her side
To be hers
Forever
And the little boy was finally happy

But as her small shuffles grew into saunters
And changed her pyjamas for tops
The little puppet boy was forgotten
His tea time became her happy hour
His snuggles traded for their stares

But feelings are non biodegradable
The effort you wanted can't be recycled
The heart you wished for can't be glued back together

I'm not one of your toys anymore
And that means
You don't leave me in your cupboard
You don't forget me on the sidewalk

That means
Do not discard after use
