Days come and go,
the sun rises and slowly sets again.
Snow falls and melts,
the sun shines,
has spring arrived
and yet I remain.
Abandoned carelessly at the end of the celebration.
Unwanted and unloved.
Those close by spurn me,
preferring their caffeine fix at a warmer temperature.
Days ago hope stirred.
My name was mentioned
my destiny questioned.
Was I to remain here
or to be taken to another place?
Alas hope faded like a false dawn.
Still I remain
forgotten
rejected
and alone.
Yet today, when the evening sunlight streamed through the windows,
illuminating
condescending
to make a feature of my condensation.
I am remembered once more.
