I lost my beautiful dog today 
I lost my dearest friend 
She took with her 
a piece of my heart 
I’ll never feel again 

I know you’ll say 
there will come a day 
when your heart is filled with another
but you didn’t know 
my Chuli girl
A dog unlike any other 

I’ve never cried 
or felt inside
the way I felt with her
saying goodbye 
as I watched her die
and nuzzled my face in her fur

Now I’m back home
I feel so alone 
The silence is filled with tears
I miss her so
You’ll never know 
She was part of my very best years
