Hearts on the Shelf

MONEY!!!

you think that's all it was

did you think I was for sale

that my heart was an item on the shelf

with a price tag

that you could purchase

that it was one of those candy hearts

that you can just savor

until it was all gone

then nothing

as though it was just waiting

for you to come along

and devour it

like many others have

a toy to play with

until you lost interest

the tossed aside

to be lost in the pile

of other hearts

that you have bought!

YOU cheated ME!!
