Chapter 5: 5
Abandonment
© Catherine White
Published: March 2009
Ten long years
Three additional months
Being told I'm "loved"
By someone who can't even remember my birthday.
How do I
Who was abandoned as a child
Attract lovers who abandon me
As an adult?
Those without soul
Broken shells
God's saddest excuse
For wasting earth's oxygen
Liars,
Who even lie to themselves.
I learned too late
That this one's last lover
Killed herself
When she was abandoned.
I almost did
Until I looked into the eyes
Of my adoring dog
He opened my eyes
To the knowledge
That a non-person
Is not worth my life,
My tears,
And now,
Not even worth my anger.
