Empty bed for two
Empty spot for a kitten
But no one comes home.

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

Or are we nothing but goats
Meant to bear your rage?

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

This feels like a death
Yet each of us is alive.
The grief of the heart.
