In the attic corner,

long forgotten, hidden,

cardboard box calling

secrets forbidden?

 

A blue teddy rattle,

and a carved wooden train,

toys of a bygone,

buried like pain.

 

You said they were mine,

then you threw them away,

history hiding,

a game that you’d play.

 

I ponder that day,

reminiscing the past,

of the train and the rattle,

who played with them last?
