When Happy Days are Over

Bidding goodbye for the happy days which now belong to the past.

We met in the mall

one sunny day to recall

when you looked at me

I could sense your desire for me

then you decided to take me with you

how happy I was then to be near you

and we had the best of times together

yet time flew so quickly

in my effort to please you

I became weak and weary

then I just woke up one day

you no longer needed me

when you replaced me

with someone new and strong

I was so belittled, deserted and lonely

my days are over I know

and I have to face reality

for who am I to complain?

I am just your old,

forsaken pair of slippers.
