Multiple fingerprints have left stains
on my dust streaked glass.
Left by my lonesome, unmoved,
bleak days blend together.
Then my entire world lit up
when you walked through the door.
The darkest parts of me illuminated
as you handled me with care.
Shaken to the core and filled with thrills
it’s been years since someone
showed me this much attention.
I promise to remember you
for lifetimes after this,
but just like the others
you placed me back on the shelf.
Had my novelty wore off that quickly?
The door shut with a bang!
Eventually, I would come down
from the high your presence left.
Snow falls around me like tears
as I await another soul
who’ll exhilarate me in ways you have.
