dog whining
in the middle of the night
sleep deprivation

There was a time
when you weren't cruel to me;
when I held respect
as the subject of love and desire
but it ended all too soon
and once a functional member of society,
not the shaven-headed, black-eyed anarchist
who came into your life with wheels of fire
I became the subject of contempt...
contempt bred dismissal,
bred devaluation, bred violence...
Is it any wonder I left?
