Toy Train

(This poem can be read two ways; read the bottom two lines to find out more!)

***

You know I hold no grudge, it’s not as though

You broke my precious train set just for fun.

I know you meant no harm. I’d never go:

I simply can’t forgive what you have done.

For you are so mature that no one states

You act your age at only six years old!

I never think you’d act like we aren’t mates;

I never thought you’d be that brash and bold.

You did not know the truth. I cannot say

You knew I only got it just last week.

I saw your disappointment and dismay

You watched a tear roll slowly down my cheek.

It’s merely just a toy. I’d never state

Our many years as buddies have to end.

In fact, I think this day’s made us best mates,

And so, you will no longer be my “friend.”
