Many poems

Dead

the word echos through my head

dead, dead, dead

that's all I can think of

my body goes numb

Dead

that's all I can think of

I space out

goosebumps appear all over my

body

How can it be so?

Dead....

I can't feel anything

I can't see anything

I can't hear anything

because

you're dead

the fire explodes

tears slowly run down my face

streams down my cheeks and off my jaw

staring at what once was ours.

you're dead, gone forever

I turn away and walk

until I know where I'm going

feeling numb

feeling nothing

Walking and walking until

what was once ours disappears

there's nothing more to look back at

because you're dead.

Diversity isn't always attractive

Tall, Short

Long, Short

Brown, Black, Red, Blond

Fat, Thin, Chubby

Cute, Hot, Ugly

Slutty, Naive

What does all of this mean?

It means we are all different

But in your eyes, I see

A soul much alive.

Maybe its happy, or even sad

that doesn't make you

any

less

human than I.

Embracing our differences

that's the key

to what is needed,

Acceptance.

laughing when you do dancing tricks

watching you be frustrated because your bone has to be re-chewed

smiling when you snuggle up against my neck

You're my best friend

the love of my life is my baby.

I love it when you make this weird face

almost like you're smiling

I grieve when I hear you cry

or even squeal in fear.

For my love isn't happy.

But when you sigh of content and snuggle again

I know its alright and you're feeling safe

just like you should.

those wide black eyes so round

looking at me sideways with little white lines on the side

making me laugh, almost like you did it on purpose.

Smelly breath

chew marks on everything

peeing on my carpet

nothing can make me love you any less!

I look forward to the years we will share

and time after you leave the earth

will be so hard

because

nothing would be the same without my baby.

Until then, continue to me mine

my little chihuahua

the love of my life!
