This poem is for my best friend, he knows who he is. This has literal and metaphorical meaning, he did protect me from myself when I was in a dark place, but amusingly enough I'm also afraid of dark shopping malls with scary mini kid cars that flash even when the electricity's off so he protected me there too haha. This is for you, pug. Love you :*
Dark/Light by tingtamtam

I wanted to write
something that could capture
the way you held me
when I was scared of the dark
but also scared of
the flashing lights
that lit false paths.
Words to express
how much I appreciate you
and everything you've done for me.
For you hid me from death
and protected me
when I deserved much less.
Something to show the world
that in dark there could be light
and that that light
was you.
