Poem (part 2)

Former Member

Hey I'm trying to write some more at the moment (see my first thing here). I thought I'd share this poem that I wrote after my dog, Dougal, was put down in 2017. He was such a silly and gentle dog with black fur and floppy ears. I had him since the moment I was born. I miss and love him. I hope he's in heavenly peace now

This is just a poem, unlike the first one I shared that I may/may not turn into lyrics at some point.

--------------

When the time came to say goodbye

I thought about the times we shared

Tears fell like raindrops from the sky

Now my heart can't be repaired

You were the candle in the dark

Now I can't find my way

Our souls have never been apart

Now one wanders astray

When we had to turn out the light

Silent words were spoken between us

I held you close, I held you tight

Now how many sleepless nights?

You were the warmth in the cold

Now I'm lost within the storm

You used to be right by my side

Now I can't break the silence

Stolen life, stolen innocence

We both know I wasn't prepared

The hole you made can never be mended

And my heart can't be repaired
