It peeled at edges,
curled with time
A name once clear, now past its prime
You laughed and pointed,
said, not that
But chose it once, and that was that
Loose label,
last in row No one's choice,
just left to show
Once it mattered,
once it fit Now it waits,
but none picks it
Stuck between a brighter brand Dust collecting where we'd stand
The glass reflects,
but not too well A memory trapped in a plastic shell
Loose label,
last in row No one's choice,
just left to show
Once it mattered,
once it fit Now it waits,
but none picks it
The button lights, but not for me
You tapped the glass, I stayed still
The moment paused, but never filled
A code I faded,
hard to read Still I hoped you'd feel that need
Loose label,
last in row No one's choice,
just left to show
Once it mattered,
once it fit Now it waits,
but no one picks it
Past the date, still holding on
