"Broke"
What good are fortune cookies
when you break them open
and their empty,
Just as my dreams
that went home with you.
There will be no more choccy donuts
and chicken fingers
no beggin with those puppy dog eyes,
My pants will never be the same
without the crawl of you,
Asking for one more bite.
I won't hear the lap of water
in the middle of the night
no sliding next to me in a cold nose nudge,
Wet with warmth of love.
This morning
bacon smokes the house,
One thing missing
You underfoot
nose in the air
waiting patiently,
For your share.
I think about the kids
that will come to see you
ready for your bark
and no bite.
What will I say
without breaking down,
The words hurt in silence
speaking them may be too much.
I sit here looking at this broken cookie
empty,
The fortune in my life gone.
my heart just "broke"! i so hope this isn't true! i am an animal lover as well, so if it is please check out "Wait Not For Me" on my page under family. it's not the greatest, but maybe it'll give you some comfort. otherwise, i really like this one. i reaches out on a very personal level. well done!
