Why do I have to be like a puppy?
Sitting there while you’re sad staring you in your face,
tongue stretched out dancing while you pace.
My floppy ears don’t make you laugh or even giggle a little
when I bark and bow and roll around, doesn’t make you feel tick-led?
But that’s all I could be at the moment when you were down
and I was up, when everything was pulling left and right in your mind, I was
too busy wasting time as I tried to make you mime. I couldn’t even make you
smile I failed again I see, but I was dealing with my own problems mentally.
Even as your puppy I still managed to be here even though between my gazing
eyes and fluffy hair, I didn’t know how to be there.
A best friend I don’t know,
Your puppy , maybe
Your clown, all the time
A tissue
Here when you need it.
