Empty spot for a kitten
But no one comes home.

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

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

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

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

Just when you thought you’d drowned me,
I came up for air.

All busy and noise
Keeps out the murmur below,
“Oh sweet God, help me!”
