We explored and shared the ultimate...

I have questions...
questions I seem to have stored in a jar
a collection seen as emptiness from afar

with a heart concrete
that lived and breathed the night.
It was a place that glowed

 when I stood by you when others would bail?

A part of me wants to leave you alone
A part of me wants for you to come home
A part of me says I'm living a lie
And that I'm better off without you.

The gifts were all wrapped
When the smell, well...it hit me
Our new puppy had crapped
