My Dog Lucky
She said the kindest thing we could do for you was kill you
Maybe that's the kindest thing she could've done for me too
It feels taboo to mention you now
They don't talk about you
They pretend the memorial in the living room
isn't there
Maybe they have more important things to do
But without you
I have no reason to be here
I always told myself I would never try to leave
For you
I always told myself you'd be lost without me
What a childish projection
It's always been my biggest fear
The pair who had always been together
Being apart
I couldn't imagine a world like that
All my memories start with you
I'm a smart enough girl
To know the world isn't ending
But why?
Why is no one else still mourning?
How is the earth still spinning?
I want it to stop
I don't care if it hurts
I don't care how I die
I just want to see you again
When you first came home
I was too young to understand
that one day you would die
And of course I learned
I just didn't know it would be so soon
Honestly
Some naive part of me believed you would live forever
That we would live forever
I don't know what I was thinking
It just seemed like the day was so far away
And then it happened
I'm still angry
I'm still grieving
I don't want to stop
I don't want to be like them
You're not gone
You can't be
Just because I'll never see you again..
Just because
No
You can't be gone
...
I hate you
Why would you come into my life
Why did this have to happen
If you knew you had to go
You were an angel sent to earth
And then you had to go back home
You left me
You left me alone
Was it my fault?
Did I not treat you right
Your love was unconditional
And I wasted it
I'll be better
I promise
I can be better
I can prove it to you
Just come home
I've learned my lesson
Just come home
It would be the kindest thing you could for me
