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?

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

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

This year of my hell.
