Neglected
how you have mishandled
a bruised and shredded heart
how the truth of the empty nature
of those beautiful words
that once gave her peace
have torn her from safety
thought you knew your kitten
but you can't know
and can't love
as you have left her in the dark
far worse than anger
is neglect
so leave her in the darkness
to feel brutally alone
the worst punnishment
to fit the crime of loving you
