Poem I Wrote Before My Dog Died

Deep in the shade of my lust,
The ones I love are the ones I trust,
My dreams are being shattered to pieces,
Death may be near,
But my love for them is so dear,
She has aged well and stayed strong,
But on this day,
There is something wrong.

Her eyes are full of pain and loss,
But I still have hope,
There can still be change.
She is healing,
We may have found a cure!
But only time will tell just to be sure.
Her pain is still great,
But she appears to be better.
I wish that all good were true,
I wish that my hope would come through.

Boy was I wrong,
The truth is still here,
She is gone,
Up in the sky,
I am just glad that I got to say good-bye
