What joy you bring to my life,
My four legged friend.
Even when I am at my most melancholy,
Your sweet face makes me smile.

What happiness you give me,
My dearest pup.
Even when all others tire of me,
You look at me with those adoring eyes.

Thank you.

What good your life
When your absence
Only benefits those around you?
When they can do without your awkward comments
Because you are trying to make people laugh
When they can do without anything you say
When they are so anxious to move away
When they are so ready to be through with you.
If I could give you a gift
I would let you be through with me
But I am not financially stable enough
To leave.

Your musical choices
Like your poetry
Are interesting pieces.
I am jealous
Of your eccentricities.

Your child bearing hips
Are crushing my diaphragm
I have lost my life.

"What are you thinking about?"
Eyes drooping sleepily,
Hands slowly traveling up and down.
"I just need to hold you."
Bliss.

Darkness
Winding roads
I am afraid-
But you will find me,
Just as you found me before.
With you
I think I feel safe.

No longer will I listen when they tell me
"He isn't enough."
He is exactly what I need.
I may not be his hope,
But he is mine.
The only lie now is that
I don't love him-
He has won my heart.

We never really saw eye to eye
We never really had the chance to get to know
But I think somehow,
In this life
We connected.

Now you are completely off limits-
Not like you were before
When it was only slightly off limits.
The ring on your finger
Serves as the perfect deterrent.

I wish you both the happiest
Because what more is there to say?
I wish you both the smoothest journey
Through this life and into the next.
Goodbye.
