Guilt and Regret
13.
The dog,
suffering from a dozen ailments
because I won't take her to the vet
because I can't afford it.
She bites off lumps
is slowly going blind
and deaf
and had blood in her urine.
Her heart's not the best, either,
and we couldn't afford the meds.
I thought yesterday
I'd have to put her down
but today she seems happy
and I feel ashamed,
