Last Sniff

If Forever I can not stay with you Don’t let me start A journey so blue If you’re gonna keep me locked up all day Then leave me free now, I’ll find a way If you can not speak to me without a yell Then leave me in this lonely hell If your hit is the only touch I feel Then leave me to my dreams, your soft touch feels so real If you won’t feed and water me Then pass me by and leave me be If you can’t love me, if even so small Then please don’t care for me at all My favorite day, when you brought me home You promised forever, with you I’d belong “He’s so old”, you said of me But out here alone, I’d have never dreamed Sorrow and sadness are real for me As I search for things familiar to see I waited and waited looked all around Until a sweet man picked me off the ground I knew then, you would never come back On that day, last day with my pack When you left me here, I could not see your face Only your back, as you ran like a race I thought it was “chase” you wanted to play Like when I was younger, we played it all day I am much older, but my chase still ensued I tried for days, But could never catch you When I finally fell, I’d traveled miles you see For only with you, where I wanted to be Now with a sadness, and truest of notion My very last mile, full of emotion It was my love for you, my eternal gift And that’s what I felt , with my very last sniff
