In the Trash

It lay atop a garbage can,

A pillow, brightly red,

Which showed a beat who held a heart

And this is what it said:

 

“I love you,” stitched in bold white print.

It stopped me in my tracks;

For in someone’s relationship,

There must have been some cracks.

 

Who tosses out a gift of love

Unless affection’s gone?

A fling upon a trash heap means

It’s time now to move on.

 

That pillow, looking so forlorn,

Once graced a couch or bed

But now it calls attention

To the what-once-was instead.
