like leaves falling

Au revoir, un chien
you were the best

she looks across the man-made pond
it isn't long since you've been gone
her nose grows red and tears held back
not angry but she's sad

you saved us all a little bit,
i remember when you bounded in
the 18th of may, your white fur grey
you were a form of relief
our family was complete

the lampshade on your head, was sweet
you so pitiful, you lay with me
i so lonely, and seventeen
we spent time waiting to sleep and dream

she loved you so much more than,
you could have known, she can
she barks louder and harder than bites
she loves more than fights
Au revoir, un chien
you were the best

she looks across the man-made pond
it isn't long since you've been gone
her nose grows red and tears held back
not angry but she's sad

you saved us all without doubt,
i remember when you headed out
the last day of this september
we lost our favorite family member
