Tear Soaked Fur

by Matthew-A-Cain

I remember the nights I laid my head on your fur I cried and you soaked up my tears When I had let out all my pain you licked my face You never had to say a word but I knew you understood Better than anyone ever could You were my buddy and I was you boy When I heard the news my heart sank It’s my turn to worry about you Comfort you now that you’re in pain I’ve grown and become a man But you’re still my buddy and I’m still your boy And I’m lying awake tonight crying my eyes out and I miss your fur I want you next to me but I’m trying not to let you see You’ll worry and that’s not your job It never was I just needed a friend…

Notes

I recently received news that my puppy that I got when I was 13yo has a massive cancerous tumor in his liver and spleen and has been given 3 months prognosis. I am heartbroken as this dog got me through all the tough times I had during high school and all the frustrations that go along with that. He got me through loosing my hate for my father and my past of abuse and he got me through loosing my grandfather who stepped up when my real dad was finally removed from the home by CPS workers. I'm gonna miss my pup so incredibly much and I hoped that I could write something that would capture his personality and our relationship
