I scrubbed the carpet on my hands and knees.
Then the dogs moved in.
After all of that,
I felt used up.
I watched life continue as if I no longer existed.
After all of that, I felt unloved.
I spoke a few words and then
I spoke many words.
After all of that,
I felt unheard.
My things were packed in boxes.
Then I received the silent treatment.
After all of that,
I felt thrown away.
I became somebody else.
I was a phase away.
Watched you move
to your own personal groove.
