my puppy
sweet sounds of rains pitter patter upon the glass
adorning my ears with memories of past
feminine wrath, soft skin and laughs
i witnessed a miracle today
you came to me
wide-eyed and flaming
i put my hands onto a heart in need of saving-
a mind in need of taming
no more disguises
for a second i got to be useful again
i got to be your friend
nostalgia set in
i still remember
my great dane-my protector
you slept on my floor to keep us sane
naive to what was coming
how everything would change
now it’s my turn
i put you to sleep and i lock your crate
i close my eyes, and it burns
my teeth begin to shake
