FORGOTTEN

BY: AMY HATCH

She says he's not good enough
He says what more can he possibly give

She's drained everything out of him.
yet he works and works so
he doesn't have to come home.

The insults break his heart
The love he has for her is weakening.

He masks his hurt and pain
He jokes and works all day

She yells
She demeans
She threatens

His pride, his heart, his masquerade

The hurt in his eyes says too much
his sullen face lingers...
