Replaceable


We are replaceable -
one just as good as another;
you easily let us slip,
in a world of endless brothers.

Despite our variety,
to you we are the same;
in all our time together,
did you even learn my name?

As much as I try to forget,
I recall when the first call came,
but we let you treat us this way,
so yours is not all the blame.

For all your beauty, kindness,
your heart is cold as ice;
do you ever stop to miss us,
or does the next one suffice?
