Joining Sophie
JOINING SOPHIE
Sophie and I used to often sit
At our small quaint,
Downtown café,
Sometimes all day,
I so enjoyed Sophie’s
Charm and wit.
The solace we found here,
Was so relaxing,
We held hands
Whilst we thought,
Of our flirty romancing.
We once saw
The exchange of dope
This café was just
Like a kaleidoscope!
I tried out dope once,
And Sophie thought
It was naughty,
At times she could
Be quite haughty!
I shook my head
And held back a tear,
As I came back to earth ,
From memories so dear.
My gaze turned towards
A young couple in love,
And suddenly,
A feather falls from above,
This must be a sign,
For I don’t feel well,
And clutch on a chair,
As I hear a faint bell,
I absently think why bells,
Church is on Sunday,
There’s no service today
For today is Monday.
I must go home,
I’m feeling so alone.
My head feels fuzzy,
Everyone is so busy,
I look for help as
I’m feeling dizzy.
Perhaps it’s the coffee,
I really must leave,
And simultaneously
There’s a tug on my sleeve,
Has the grim reaper
Come for me,
I’m ready and unafraid
As I’ll ever be,
And fearlessly think
That my time here is over,
No one at home,
Just my dog Rover.
I’ll be joining you Sophie
I feel so glad,
Life without you
Was very sad,
Please someone find Rover!
