the last and final time you left me
i remember sitting on the couch
sobbing to my mother, telling her
"i just want to be okay again"

my dog jumped up on
the couch next to me,
she looked at me and cried
before licking my red,
tear stained cheeks

in that moment
i knew she could feel my pain
and it hurt her as much as
it hurt me
