• He came back last night
    Through the window
    Kept unlock each night
    Knowing, hoping his return

    He pulled me from my slumber
    Over and over throughout the
    Night hours he continued
    The same torturous routine

    Others would run,
    Others would scream,
    Others would fight.
    I’m not an Other.

    I welcome him and his routine
    I don’t speak but I watch
    My eyes staying locked on him
    Begging to go with him

    Why keep me here?
    Why won’t he take me with him?
    Why does he leave me in this hell
    When I belong in His?
