I see you there
In the rearview mirror of my life
Fading
As I move forward
knowing
we'll never ride
side by side
again

I'll share my thoughts
You'll hear my words
and see my deeds.

My love and pain
Are mine alone

Amputate
His leg
She said so calmly
I thought
Yours first
The veterinary surgeon recommended amputating one of my dog's legs for a non-metastatic growth that is causing him no pain, discomfort, or disability. Uh, no.

Do you ever feel like your soul is locked up in a small box
Do you ever feel like that box is placed inside of a deep cave
Do you ever feel like that cave is sealed up with dirt and stone
Do you ever feel like that cave is filling up with frigid water
Do you ever feel like it’s getting hard to breathe
Do you ever feel like it’s time to stop breathing….

I mistook your kindness

When I suffer
My thoughts are always

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021
Because of you
I taught myself
Not to cry....
