Tammy Lynn Michaels, who is going through a very public split from her longtime partner Melissa Etheridge, is back to blogging poetry about her relationship -- this time saying she's sick, broke, and has 45 days to find a new place to live.
Michaels writes:
"gallbladder
pancreas
liver
ulcers
MRIs
ultrasounds
gotta get it done
on pennies now?
somethings going on
gotta get a job
with barf bag in hand?
and leave my twins with who?
and with what babysitting money?"
Read the full poem here.
The actress, who walked away from her career to raise the twins she had with Etheridge, deleted a number of blog posts from earlier this month in which she alleged the singer has left her penniless.
A lawyer for Etheridge claims she is paying all of Michaels's bills.
