the foster kid
who lived with us
was afraid of me

told her sister
I was a monster

we talked
we cried
she is sorry
she is not afraid
she didn't know
she didn't want 
to cause 
so much harm
but now she's gone

her sisters are scared
I'm not
a violin teacher
anymore
i'm not 
a father figure
anymore

hello void
you feel
so comfortable
tonight

the divine comedy
is over
my heart 
is yet again
broken

i cried a bit
played the synth
now that I have
something to express
