I saved a broken dog
took him to my broken home
to live with my broken family.
I tried to fix him with broken
training. I was too broke to get
it right. The more I yelled the more
broke he got. I had a drunken insight
one night walking him in a full moon
reminded me of me in my childhood.
I saw things through our broken eyes
held him close. I promised I'd fix us.
I saved ourselves  from a **** shelter.
