Saw you on the street tonight, you were walking my way. You were with Arnie, I knelt down to play. You tried to pull him away from me, Like I was a stranger passing by. The excitement in his little body, made me want to cry. I asked you if you weren't going to stop, You gave in and paused. I got dirt all over my face, from his little paws. Everyone thinks their dog is special, But Arnie actually is. He has a lightness about him that makes you forget the world isn't sheer bliss. You looked at me with such disgust and asked me how I was. Hoping it was bad. I said I was good and asked you the same. You said GREAT! FANTASTIC! COULDN'T BE BETTER! I LOVE MY JOB! I GOT A RAISE! I'M SEEING SOMEONE NEW! I said that's great and i'm happy for you. You pulled him away from me soon after that. Our little puppy grown up. He wasn't coming back. I hope you know i'm actually happy for you, if any of what you said is true. I wish no ill intent on you. My only upset is for the girl who comes next, and the coldness she will one day receive. I gave parts of myself to you I have never given to anyone. We shared a dog, a home, a life, for over a year together. Yet, you act like i'm a stranger on the street. I get it. We all get mad and say things we shouldn't in fights. But it has been a month since you've seen me or talked. So how can hate be the first reaction in sight? The lack of kindness in your eyes was inhumane. You are a soul sucker who has moved onto his next victim. Tossing losses to the side. You said I was dead to you. Guess what ****** I'm Not.
