Shelly's Memory

It doesn’t matter how hard I try to hide the tears One keeps coming every minute your apart from me Heaven is supposed to take your beloved away Maybe we’re just to not love anyone so they can stay Can’t hide my feelings though God sure enough saw the love Another day another life taken away I miss you and I take it out on everybody I wouldn’t have to if at least I could bury your body Simple is as easy as simple can be But I should’ve been with you more, please Now I wish I can take it all back Told you everyday you’re the best dog in the world Listened to my cry even though I knew you didn’t realize That was important to me Sitting back on the swing that was demolished Like the twin towers, you didn’t see what was comin I can probably move on But the truth is the thought of it is just too wrong It’s like watching a murderer come into your house Take a knife to your family’s throats and lash out You were once my best friend But I left you and wasn’t there at the end Simple is not that easy simple is just not Simple would’ve let me be with you all the time When I yelled you came Helped me through my worst pains Protected me at night Made sure I could sleep just right No one knows what it’s like to become something we were A dog and a human Both sisters in their minds both girls workin for a livin When I sang you howled back Jumped on the trampoline and snuggled by my back As I dreamed about what it would be like if eternity was possible You dreamed about staying with me and nothing to make us stop, oh And I’m sorry about the way I focused on other things That isn’t even half important to me Too bad we couldn’t have grown up at the same rate Too bad I didn’t see how much I need you until you were gone Too bad we couldn’t have made it through Too bad I lost the only perfect thing in this world Too bad I lost you… Shelly I’ll never forget you
