Life Takes [*]

Life takes,
forgets to give back,
like a greedy child,
bags all the good candy,
from a broken pinata,
it leaves me behind,
to count the colorful wrappers,
burgundy, amber, magenta,
caramel, toffee, hazelnut,
little fingers scraping off,
the remnants of candy,
trying, struggling so hard,
to remind life, not to forget,
to give me my part,
my share of good,
I try to remind life,
of what it should,
with melting remains,
of those candy store treats,
melt my childish dreams,
amidst lollies and ice creams.
