she put her pretty head
to my door last night
expecting to hear angry words
so that she could have grounds
for retaliation
but was greeted by
my tears
instead
i'm sure she was shocked
because before
she could have felt
when i cried
when i ached
but now she was numb
our bond forever severed
my tears are heavy
they need to be laid out
laid down
but right now
the thought of having
someone to run to
someone to really care
seems almost too sweet
to bear
