Alone

He left me homeless No car No food No house Nothing. Yet he loves me? Love isn't leaving anyone Anytime For anything. He didn't love me He was using me.

He Doesn’t Know

He doesn't know I've rested my heart within him Secretly placing it between lines of poetry. Hoping he'll call so I can hear his voice While I tell him insignificant events. He doesn't know I wish he was mine Have for the years I've known him, Even while the sloth was drowning me. He doesn't...
