Poem: Thinking myself to sleep
Like coyotes stealing sheep
Promises you couldn’t keep
Like confetti on a dirty street

It was hard for me to discover
I’d been replaced by a new lover
You chose his love instead of mine
Will you be worse to him than me?

Revenge would be sweet
If it didn’t make me feel guilty

The ones I loved are broke
With cancer and hepatitis C
Guess I’m getting away cheap
With a broken heart

Are you worse to him
Than you were to me?
Revenge would be sweet
If it didn’t make me feel guilty…...
