Heartless and Disorientated

hang dry

am i just another pillow case to you?

that gets thrown away when it gets too stained,

just a linen slave

to dry your eyes at night,

but nothing more.

you're never grateful

and i try

my best to dry the tears you cry

i try

my very best to make you smile

every day it's my only purpose,

but all the while,

still,

all you ever do is stain me-

cry until i'm damp

and then leave me to

hang dry

alone.

your pillow case

hanging

from this noose

made of your sheets.
