Final Betrayal
I lied to you, I am so sorry,
We walk into here,
Your brown eyes plead with me,
They look sad, I know you fear
This place……..
My old, my faithful and trusting friend
The final betrayal – it’s kind!
The pain of this last unexpected decision
No time to leave or change our mind
Your bewildered frightened eyes
Say‘ what’s happening to me’?
I couldn’t tell you the truth nor tell lies
And I turned away so you couldn’t see
Is this being kind, but you can’t breathe,
So bad, you ‘re in pain
We can’t go home, nor leave
To have a walk in the rain
The needle entered slowly, this isn’t kind
We held you tightly and I so longed,
To scream ‘NO’ – I’ve changed my mind
Too late, my love, you were gone.
Was it wishful thinking or did I see,
Briefly, through a veil of tears
Of you,
Eyes bright,
Tail wagging,
Ears pricked
Running
Jumping
Through
Fields
‘I felt your pain and love you always’
Sleep my lovely…go to sleep….
