You Again Carved

September 19, 2024

You again carved
a big lot of my insides
Out and tossed
as if I was just
Halloween Jack-o-lantern.
You dictate
that you can and will
do whatever you want
disregarding me
and my needs.
We used to walk
side by side.
But now you are a
growling monster
standing in front of me
with a fence
all around yourself
keeping us far apart.
We no longer speak
the same language.
I am only just
a jar of tiny bites
for you to pick up
only when you want
but mostly walk by.
