Your Eyes Were My Favorite Color

I'm Sorry I'm Sad

I'm so sorry I'm sad.
I know you don't understand.
When you get upset you throw pillows off the couch,
it's almost funny.
When I'm hurt I scream and I cry.
I get up in the night to grab tissues and disturb your sleep.
When I'm talking out loud to my ghosts,
you think I'm talking to you.
My words are not happy,
my voice is hurt.
And yet you still wag your tail and try to kiss my face.
I'm so sorry to you, my dog.
I wish I were a happier human being.
