A world Without
you... Composed by Tanya Martin
I went outside this morning, and nothing was the same
You didn't greet
me this time when I called our name
For the first time
in a long time, the paper wasn't torn
The world is so different,
all I do is mourn
I left a bowl of
food for you, that I know you'll never eat
The yard outside
sits alone, and will no longer feel your feet
Your frisbee is laying
on the porch, the holes you dug are still there
Your doggy brush
is by the door, your toys are everywhere
Your leash is waiting
by the gate for the walk we just can't take
All the memories
of you I see, as my heart begins to break
As I stood there
and thought of you, a tear dropped from my eye
I never thought the
day would come, the day that you would die
As the tears rolled
down my face, I dropped to my knees in sorrow
I can barely face
today, how will I feel tomorrow?
As I buried my face
in my hands, I bawled like never before
When I was done,
I took a breath, and walked back in the door
I got dressed and
went to work, I dreaded coming home
Who would be there
to greet me? Now I face the world alone
Now I lay here in
my bed, all the world is dark
It is way too quiet
outside, I long for just one more bark
Please come tackle
me one more time, and track mud on the floor
Drool all over my
toes again, chew up a sock once more
Come and lick my
tears away, let me touch your fur
I want to see your
soft brown eyes, I want things the way they were
As I cry myself to
sleep, I remember as I close my lids
Tomorrow is a closer
day, that we meet at the Rainbow Bridge...
