She never has to sleep
alone.
She never has to wonder
what it’s like to slumber,
deep,
untouched,
unwanted,
cold.
She always has an eager,
willing,
warm,
loving companion.
Perhaps I,
too,
should get a dog.

Can you fathom, like/
deep hunger of starvation,/
talk deprivation?
I dreamed a dream of/
us together. Since we’re not,/
I’m tres miserable.
Since I haven’t heard/
from you all day, I just hope/
that you are okay.
Instead of seeking/
the best you can get, just be/
satisfied with great.
Who do I write about?
You know they’re about you.
You may outwardly doubt
but gaze my verse through.
You may argue
and not believe what I say.
I know that you
can’t watch yourself play.
You may deride
and hold my words in derision
and may cast them aside
because you don’t see my vision.
You may not see you that way, but I do.
No matter what you say, my vision is true.
The sole positive/
about heartache is that it/
prompts intense muse growth.
