Hate eats life
By cadymae
It died but we kept feeding it anyway
til it was bigger than us
Mornings came but shone no light on it
It stirred more at dusk
She asked after it repeatedly
We told her it was growing
When it began to smell we walked away
She'll find the key under the mat
She'll let herself in
She won't come back out
