Funny how one action can change everything,
A perfect world becomes shattered,
A life becomes filled with tortured memories.
Always in constant wonder,
Whether if anything will come out of the destruction,
The rubble of the mess.
Nothing seems to come to mind,
No hope,
No love,
Just thoughts that tear you apart.
You want to cry out,
You want to run,
You want to shout,
But nothing seems to come out,
Just the emptiness of desolation.

Dear owner,
Will you promise to be kind to me,
To give me love,
Take me for walks,
And not forget me?
Do you promise that I am a life commitment,
Not just until I get big,
Or until you have a kid?
Do you promise that I'll be part of the family,
Live in your home,
And not out in the dog house?
Do you promise to show me the kindness that you show your friends,
That you show your partner,
Or the kids you love?
Do you promise that when I do something bad,
You won't throw me out,
Force me to live on the streets?
You may not know this but when you get me,
You may not know my pass,
The lies my previous owners told,
The abuse they put me through,
The scorn they showed me
And the hate.
I wasn't bad,
They just didn't know how to raise me.
They had a kid
And no more time for me they said,
So they threw me out to the street
Forced to wander for food.
I was skinny when I came here,
But these nice people helped me,
So before you adopt me,
Please consider
The time I require
And the love you need to show.

When I looked into your brown eyes,
I knew it was love.
I knew I just had to bring you home,
Give you the love you never received,
Because all of the neglect
Abuse your former owners put you through.
When I bent down
And I stuck out my hand,
You were hesitant,
And just for a second
I saw something in your eye
Hope.
Hope that I would love you
And not neglect you
Disobey the stereotype the people have put on you,
That pit bulls are vicious
That you could possibly **** me with one bite,
But there is no chance of love
Without taking a chance.
So I brought you home,
And I worked with you
Showed you love
And in return you loved me.
We would go for runs,
Go for swims,
And not once did you try biting me,
Even when you were suffering
All the pain from when you got old,
So now I say to you,
"Run on
On into the wind
And be the dog you were suppose to be,
Because you will be miss
Every single day I breath."
