Sad Girl; Dead Dog

I can still hear his barking
I can still see his face
And it still breaks my heart
Even though he is in a better place

I know he was in pain
I know he was ready to die
And I know that he loved me
But it still makes me cry

I let him die in my arms
I would have had it no other way
And it makes me sad to think
He was ready on that day

In an instant he was gone
He was no longer in pain
And in my eyes so quickly
Came all the salty rain

I could still feel his warmth
As I kissed him on his head
And took him out of the car
To lay him on his bed

In his bed he laid
In a hole with his body still
And there just seeing it
Made my eyes fill

The tears were uncontrollable
I just could not believe the sight
And for the next 5 days
I cried to sleep at night

I miss him more and more each day
And as I said my last good-bye
I just wanted to sit down with him
Hold him and cry
