finding a shadow

the dog,
beaten shy.
now timid and kneeling,
waiting to
be struck not petted,
cowers
under the table, but
doesn't run.
how quickly we learn 
to live
without affection
and love.
finding a shadow
to back into, curling
into a corner.

My baby girl, Cosa, passed away yesterday. I had her euthanized at home. She was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen last week.

I feel so empty and broken. She was my rock and gave me so much love when I felt so lost and alone.

14 years of unconditional love. Cliche but true.
It hurts. My heart aches
