Can I eat your tumour?
Hey little friend,
Do you wanna play?
I could eat your homework
Then we could hang out all day
We could go to the park
Or chase birds at the beach
I promise I won’t bark
Or pull on the leash
Hey little friend,
We could lie in the sun
You seem kinda tired
There’s other things we can do for fun
Like stealing dinner off the bench,
Or hiding someone’s shoe
Even then it’s just as good
As staying up on tough nights with you
Hey little friend, what’s going on?
I don’t see you so much anymore
And somethings changed about your face,
It’s not like it was before
I bring you toys and treats and shoes
I run and chase and hide
But it’s not nearly as good now
Without you by my side
Hey little friend, you’re getting smaller
And more and more every day
No matter how hard I try
It seems you keep shrinking away
Could I eat your tumour?
Little friend, I’m out of things to do
I’m not sure how I’d get it though
Without hurting you
I haven’t seen you for a while now
The home is empty and hollow
Like the caves we used to play in
Or the tennis ball we used to follow
The sun has come and gone
Too many times to count
And I am getting much too old
To run and play a large amount
Hey little friend,
When you come back
Maybe we could just hug
I would really like that
And then we could play just one more time
The world would be our own
And though I cannot speak you’d know
I’m happy that you’re home
A poem about loss from the perspective of a pet dog.
