When You're Gone by Kim Castro

Whose paw and nose stains will I clean off the door?
Whose tons of hair will I clean off the floor?

Whose gross eye boogers will I pick?
Whose vomit will I clean after getting sick?

Who will keep me warm on cold winter nights?
Who will save me from all YOUR frights?

Who, without a word, will comfort me when I’m sad?
Who will always be remorseful when I’m mad?

Who will look at me like I’m the most beautiful woman around?
Even if I’ve not showered, hairs a mess and I’ve gained a few pounds.

Who will kick the crap out of me when I’m sound asleep?
Who will run and hide when the fire alarm beeps?

Who will I spend a gazillion dollars on for organic shampoos and food?
Who willl never judge me through all my changing moods?

Whose butthole hairs will I cut?
Who will love me no matter what?

All these things I will truly miss..but not as much as your cold wet nosed kiss.
