Empty house and empty heart

I've always hated coming home
to an empty house
But one constant this past
fourteen years was being greeted
by one who loved me
who was always happy to see me
and would let me know
if I were late.
Who would share my bed
and refuse to move
when I couldn't get my legs in.
Who'd let me know
if someone were outside
or might be
at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Who'd remind me that its time
to go out for a walk
and get my exercise.
When I really didn't want to
go out in the rain.
Who knew my moods 
and understood me
and forgive me if I were sharp.
Who shared my food
and appreciated anything
I cooked.
That all ended yesterday
and now I come home
to an empty house
and I hate it.
