That feeling of belonging
my dog is loved
and that’s a fact
yet it lives in fear
of abandonment
why so i ask
you have a home
it’s never happened
you’ve never been left behind
you’re safe
why is it you live in fear
when I head out that door
your panic so intense
frantically pacing
your heart is racing
it’s a primal fear
wild beyond control
how can i put your mind at ease?
