I Am Left so Empty

I am left so empty

inside there is a void

I feel so hollow and threadbare

twenty years together destroyed

because my Love no longer cared

she’d cry out for me to end my life

and to do it by my own hand

I had to escape the woe and strife

I was forced to take a stand

from an old secluded brick house

built by my Great Grandpa along ago

I was thrown out by my spouse

greater sorrow I will never know

I paid off the long term debt

from her paycheck, not a dime

when I called for help, what did I get

that it was me that committed a crime

Tucson insists that her evils taughts

for my suicidal death each night

was a tactic they felt was good response

to a poor victimized women’s plight

The police said that I had to get

my property she now possesses

I am now a homeless vet

calls for my death Tucson blesses

I am left in the cold

I’ve been torn from my land

an injustice done so bold

just because I’m a man
