Discarded and Refused

You throw me after use
Sometimes on the road
Sometimes in the woods

You bury me in the mud
Drown me in the river
And in a moment forget

Out of mind, out of sight
That's what you think
And return to lead your life

Even your momentary touch
Do I ever forget?
It makes me long for you

I seek you out in every breath
My fumes filling your very lungs
With sweet smell of vile death

My every particle dissolves
And I find my way back
To you, whom I deeply love

The water you drink
Brings my cells to your lips
Taking you to life's brink

You made me what I am
But finally in my hands lies
What you will become

You may discard me
Still I will be forever true
Even if you name me Refuse.
