immortal madness // l.s

twenty two

I

Wake up

In Louis' room.

He is

Not there.

I am alone,

And there is

A dog

On the

Bottom of

The bed.

I

Pet its head.

It has soft white

Fur.

I lay back

down

With

A live

Dog

At my feet

And for the

First time

In forever,

I do not

Feel

The

Urge

To save

The thing.

To cut

It up and bury

It in my

Backyard.

I wonder why.
