Empty bed for two
Empty spot for a kitten
But no one comes home.
Dumpster diving for dreams!

Always here for me
Like a little fur-angel.
Love you, my kitten.

To be trustworthy
Means choosing intimacy.
And winning my heart.

Your need for power
Trumps the vows you spoke to me.
I stand defeated.

I’d rather be wrong
And have you say I’m nothing.
You ARE lovable.

Did you know their names?
Or are we nothing but goats
Meant to bear your rage?

Still feeling angry.
Still feeling hurt and betrayed.
But damn! I miss you.
