you think i won't leave,
your anger like a prison.
freedom: happiness

holding out my hope
like a hand outstretched to grasp
any prize it can

throwing the dishes
coping mechanisms, lost
another lecture

science finds me want -
religion gives emptyness -
holes cannot be filled

conversation starts
sputtering conversations
best to walk away

hatred engulfs me
the world is her enabler
i am her victim

sexuality
meaningless fights turning cold
anger simmering
