Afterthought

By: Rebecca Walkins Randle

i've become your afterthought,
like some trinket you bought
and forgot inside a drawer.
you don't think about me anymore.
you expect me just to acquiesce,
silently settle for so much less,
than i know i deserve.
oh, you have such nerve!

i'm always last on your list,
it's been three days now since we've kissed.
maybe it's time that i moved on...
(every dark day has it's dawn.)
the morning light will ease my sorrows,
my life can full of bright tomorrows.
you'll see that i will start anew,
with just an afterthought of you.
