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.
