Minus 1

I am fighting to keep alive



where you used to fit



like a puzzle



piece



of my heart



that slipped out



of the box



on the closet floor



of a house that was sold



for much less it's worth



to someone who



defaulted on a loan



and auctioned off



spied while cleaning



it meant nothing



next to the waded gum



and cotton swabs



in the waste basket bottom



shame



you will wind up in the dump



apart from the box



you belong in....Nobody knows you are gone.



The puzzle with the missing piece



sits on a strangers shelf.



They are none the wiser.
