A dimension
Of guilt parades behind me
Collarless, he ways his tail
Puppy dog eyes
He demands my attentions
But the winds of change
Catch me, fill my sail
Still he swims behind
Not knowing I wander blind
All my attention I devote
To ignoring him
To sailing my boat
When finally I cave
Giving him the love he craves
My vessel becomes whole
Being forgiving, I fold
Guilt fades, becoming the way
All the worry and shame
Are cuddled and tamed
When I no longer defend
In the end
They're man's best friend

Quoth
Unnoticed, the clock struck into the next day. Before my eyes, as midnight came and went, the words on the pages over which I poured blurred together. Meaningless under my over-tired gaze, they looped around themselves, slowly winding lines of text twisting themselves into knots as I watched, barely awake enough to do more than notice the change.
