Doghouse Thoughts

They say that only

the good die young,


I guess I’ll live forever.


I’ve been trying for forever

to get a little better.


I’ve been lying for a while,

I untether.


I’ve been dead inside for years

riding the surging tides of

all this stormy weather.


I confess that I’m a

monster hurting innocents.


In a sense I think if I

would die that you could mend.


Worth mentioning that I’m

still dying trying to make amends.


I said that last line to my demons,

now we’re good ol’ friends.


I’m glad you see right through

the lies and through my ignorance.


I doubt I’ll ever see the light again

- no recompense.


You have no tolerance for me -

and I don’t want you to.


Why should you let a beast like

me lay next to you?


This ain’t a petting zoo.


I hate the half of me that’s empty

- full of apathy.


He hates the other half that

tries and tries to make you happy.


I hope you sleep well tonight,

my love,

and have sweet dreams.


I’ll be in the doghouse - ignore the screaming and the laughing.
