There is a diagram
Of a toxic
Relationship
Deprivation of love
Leaves the heart
Rotting in its birdcage
And without a song
The oppression
Of a soul clanks, rattles
The windpipes of your throat
That is what grief is
Windchimes of sadness
Signals to a barren
Sullen fingertips
Write over and over again
How much love
Fed, nurtured
But now, you are only hungry
Thirst for a touch
That is only a ghost
A world after you had something
Some so grand
