you didnt even say goodbye

"Woof!" I said as you started the car,
"Hooray!" I said, it's my first time afar.

The scents we were passing were all new to me,
For it was my first introduction to this mystery.

As we got out of the car I embraced you with joy,
After all you remembered to bring my favorite toy!

You threw it once or twice, of which I retrieved,
But on the third it seemed you were ready to leave.

You threw it long and hard and I chased it like lightning,
But when I turned to bring it back I saw a sight quite frightening.

I gripped my toy hard as I tried to comprehend
What it was I did wrong to make our relationship end.

You walked back to your car as I sat there still loyal.
Why am I subservient and you so royal?

Your engine started, and you peeled out into the night,
You didn't even care about my overwhelming fright.

As I sat in my pose determined you would come back,
The sun faded behind me while the surroundings turned black.

Day after day I stayed in that park,
Lying... waiting... too feeble to bark.

As I lay there dying thinking of you master,
I asked myself how I got into this horrifying disaster.

With my last breath of life, I whispered your name
Then I collapsed in a heap overrun by pain.

Why didn't you love me master? Why didn't you care?
Had I no significance, was I just a clump of hair?

I stayed there master and I waited for you
I guess taking care of me was just too much to do.

I'm gone now master, no more You-and-I
But what I can't figure out is why you didn't even say goodbye...
