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

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?

The things that made Us.

How to convince you
My love for you is so true?
Please hear my prayer.

My heart remains yours,
Though you never wanted it.
I too can go numb?
