Fall to the floor,
Needed no more,
Bounce away,
Under the table,
Under the bed,
In the closet,
In the hall.

Useless and sore,
It screams and is ignored,
You walk away,
No crime to pay.

Alone forevermore,
Nothing to be done,
No war to be won,
No heroes rise,
There are only cries.

Cries of lost,
Cries of hate,
What a waste.

Nothing lost,
Nothing gained.

You go on with your day,
No dismay,
You don’t even notice,
The missing and forgotten,
Even as they fall to your feet and weep.

For that button that fell to the floor,
Serves its purpose no more,
And you have no care in the world.
I wrote this for the Insecure-Writers Prompt 'buttons' and I wrote it to describe what a button that has fallen off must feel.
I don't know why, I just did.

Enjoy!
