They say there is nothing like,

Bonds amorously between

Human and Human-

Like a person is Home.


With which I agree, but,

Something about dogs,

Is what I cherish the most.

It's like being in the lucent sun.


Until it runs cold,

Navy bleeds in the sky.

It's a shame that

They are tragically mortal.


Things don’t last forever.

Especially the things that,

Engrave within your bones.

For I lost her today but she will stay.


The author's comments:

I’m 14, but I’ve always felt older inside—like my thoughts have more layers than people expect.
I write because I have something to say, even when I don’t say it out loud.
Poetry, painting, stories—they’re not hobbies to me. They’re how I understand the world.
I’m serious about my dreams, and I know where I’m going.
But I still stop to feel everything along the way.
Because feeling deeply isn’t a weakness—it’s where my strength lives.
