Love Letters

A few simple words Jotted down in a hurry Unaware of the power Upon my broken heart How does he know The right words to say That waking in the morn Is equal to rising from grave Pain speaks first Sleep cemented my bones I can’t possibly keep pace Fear voices out Don’t go out …

Lessons From my Dog

I just picked up my dog to help her to the couch. Her reaction to me is the same, every day, every time. She turns her back to me, hunches herself up, and puts her head down. Her reaction, it breaks my heart. It’s as if she is expecting me to hit her, hurt her, …
