in many ways
she's an
extension of
myself.
she came at a
point in which
there was too
much of me for
one person to
handle.
she takes
half the
load,
unbiasedly.
and unbiasedly
she walks it up
and down the hill
while carrying
her own.
she deals with
the spikes in her
shoes and never
complains, though
sometimes I see
her cry.
she came at a
time when I was
becoming too much
for myself, and I
beg that she never
leaves, at least
until after I go
first.
