Feed the Dog
Some where in the distance
Dog barks in vain
Reminder to a master
slept past alarm again.
He put his head to pillow
long after sun had set
Drowning out his sorrows
in whiskey, smoke regrets.
sadness, it will linger,
Long after dog is fed.
His love has left him.
Lonely.
How his heart has bled
Bitter are the memories
Just before the fall
Blue are the horizons
Hopes to hear her call.
She left him for another,
he got to keep the dog
He's a loyal companion
but he doesn't do the job.
The master cannot hear him
Barking all night long
deafened by the pounding
broken heart so strong.
