I talk to my tired but happy black lab
the one who always wags his tail
I tell him he’s my best friend
he is the dog that I can trust, that I can cuddle when I’m sad.
I tell him my secrets that I wouldn’t tell anybody else
I tell him my life is annoying like an alarm on repeat.
he was always so excited to see me when I walked in my gran’s door
he would run around with the same toy every day excited as always wagging his tail hitting everyone’s knees
he would lay around waiting to be fed or cuddled
I tell him my life is unsolved like a Rubik’s cube
I tell him I miss him to his grave.
