I wake with you when the weather drips across the window
I shake like maraca with my nose inside your elbow
I quake and I cower as you coddle, coo, and comfort
I am scared, and you said that I am scared
I bring you my leash so you take me for a walk
When we go in the car, I let you put me in the box because I know that you know what I need more than me
And I know that you need me more than that
More than that
More than that
