A Baby Turtle

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

You rescued a baby turtle
and are trying to
nurse it back to health.


You created a home for it
and researched all the ways
to take care of it.


You are so concerned
with an animal that won't
likely survive for a few days.


You are so focused on it
instead of tending to
our dying relationship.


I am struggling to breathe,
drinking myself to death,
and you don't even care.
