Foreclosed

August 7th 2023

At first, I did not notice

the way you were draining me

of every ounce of happiness

and dollar, dime and penny.

You agreed to my one heart,

and for my heart, I plead,

as I stand within its vault,

now dark and cold and empty.

As I foreclose on this love,

to save what is left of me,

prepare yourself to vacate

and leave my heart to be free.
