My dog and me
My dog and me
Nobody noticed the hole deep within my heart
Only visible to me
Only felt by me
16- The teenage dream and yet I had never felt more alone
The childlike wonder had disappeared
Completely gone
My innocence taken from me by the cruelty of time
I began to question what had happened
What had gone so wrong?
I then realised this was the simple reality of growing up
As I change from childhood to adulthood
The ongoing cycle of life
Seemingly never ending
I looked over at my dog
Wagging his tail
The same look in his eye as when I first laid eyes on him
Full of anticipation and excitement
He still had that same spark
The same lively energy
So why didn’t I?
I knew that sometimes, he must wonder it too.
Where had the happy little girl he met 7 years ago gone?
