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.

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.

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

Beaten by silence,
But behind that wall lives rage.
Which one wounds me most?

You never stay long.
Long enough to never go.
Your wound is my grief.
Today is the day…

I took this last breath.
My story has come to rest.
Today was the day.
