I took that dog for a walk tonight
needy *****
always barking in my ear
in my soul

hoping he'll calm down
after our long walk alone

The Help says walks are healthy
I hope She's right
Because I shouldn't be the only one watching him

I love that dog
He always looks so happy to see me
So I feed him my hope
bathe him in my dreams
I walk him through the secrets
I haven't even told myself

Still he barks at me

Finally a little warm inside
yet here I am writing this thing with him beside me

and I meant to leave him outside.

I think I love this dog.
