He went off to Die
He went off to die,
and didn't tell me
this Dog I've had
for fourteen years
guess he knew and didn't
want to see
the Ocean Tidal Wave
of my shocked grief and tears
~
He wanted to remember
me with that smile on my face
everytime we were together
in our own "special place"
And I will never forget
what this Dog meant to me
how he was just as much a part of family
who touched me in places no
human could feel, nor see
~
God, I'm left with
this aching hole inside only YOU can fill
for the loudest of Sounds
is when Sadness stands still
and listens for the Echo it left behind
in the bleeding Soul
and searching, questioning mind
And so here I am left alone in the Mist
wondering who is around to witness
my sad wave goodbye
to a Dog I loved more than Life itself
who went off to Die.
~Susan~
