Black Hearted Wife

I love to know that you suffer words cannot be retrieved once spoken damage irreversable bowed heads and heavy tears son hiding in closets behind coats husband gone and you wonder why his steps are slow as he leaves and he is silent around you and you wonder why he left you alone in your house speak your words to the dark to the dust to the cold kettle to his favorite mug find his sweater in the basement find his music in the garage you will have no satisfaction of inflicting pain your power defused momentarily until you catch another one and yet this husband will haunt you his voice will sound in your dreams
