You were always there at my side
Like a puppy
Wagging it's tail for my attention
But you only wanted more
You clobbered me  
Bit through my flesh
Then you'd lap up my gushing blood

I sent you back to the pound
But being put down
Wasn't what you deserved
Your ginger fur gleamed
Your eyes were so soft
Your heart was so bright
Your head was held up high

If only I didn't push you away
Then you wouldn't just be a memory
