You found me bleeding
Oozing, gushing
You bandaged me
You tried to fix me

The old dog you
Left out in the rain

Expected to be better
Expected to heal
Expected to refrain

My guitar and pajama pants
Two of the few
Things that give me
A home
A pastime
A joy
An escape

The way you see it
I may have everything I need
But never
Can I ever
Be happy
Be content
Knowing
Seeing
And living
Without him
Without his voice in my ear
His hand in mine
His lips on my cheek

I am just  
The old dog you left out in the rain
The rebound
The fling

The depressed girl.
