Poem and photography copyright 2007, Sally Stephens
Why do I try?
Why do I spend all my energy and emotions
trying to reach you
wishing, wanting the love I give you
to come back the same to me
I want to break all your barriers
Plow through the roadblocks
and find my way back to your love.
Did you lose it?
Just misplace it?
Or did you throw it out with the rest of your trash?
You lock me out
Out of your heart
You close the door
And board up the windows
Put out the signs
No trespassing—
Beware of Bitter Man
Do you miss me?
Do you hate me?
Do you have any fucking emotion at all?
You lock me out
Out of your heart
You close the door
And board up the windows
Put out the signs
No trespassing—
Beware of Bitter Man
