A Dog named Dreyfus

Your breath is labored
They say you are not in pain
I don’t believe that

You were the one who saved me
From long lonely afternoons
That slipped into dark nights

I was the one
Who was too busy for you
Taking you for granted

I know you are going tonight
I wish I could save you

I can not bring myself to leave your side
So I lie on the floor

Maybe you know
I hope you know
