Nameless

Why don't you want me?
You're motionless again.
Listless and lifeless.

My anger feeds pain.
Through with your game.
More of the same.


Winds rustle leaves across the dim lit sidewalks as
a river of ceaseless traffic pours down the street
between us.
I call your name,
but above the horns and squealing tires, everything just sounds like
noise and rage.

Unsated desires explode into an inextinguishable fury.
With pride shaken and esteem beaten,
I tuck my tail between my legs and hide beneath the covers.

Maybe someday you'll want me.
Even if I'm as warm as a corpse,
as moveable as a body tethered to a cement brick sunken in the ocean.
