To Say Goodbye

Warnings: Pet loss, grief


The sky outside is crying

It is no place for a pet

And I want to take you in

'Cause you don't like being wet

The sun today is blinding

I am sweating in my chair

And I want to take you in

'Cause you still don't like fresh air

The dog next door is barking

In a manner lacking poise

And I want to take you in

'Cause you don't like all the noise

The starry night is chilly

I guess Jack Frost's being bold

And I want to take you in

'Cause you don't like being cold

I just wish you could come in

And come running back to me

You would jump into my arms

Just like how it used to be

Please don't think that I'm a fool

I can't help my vicious mind

'Cause I know that if I looked 

I would not like what I find

So I say you can't come in-

There is nothing I can do

For the body in the dirt-

It was never really you
