Tokens

Somewhere over yonder

   are the things you gave to me

Sometimes on a birthday or

   Wrapped under a tree

A token of your love or maybe

   Just to show you care

A thing to stand in place of you

   At times you weren’t there.

They all brought special feelings on

   The day they came my way

But now they’re simply meaningless

   Your love has gone astray

And I am left to wonder if

   You ever were so true

The things you gave are left behind

   As are my thoughts of you.
