Visiting Poet “Don’t Go”

(A Song About My Dog That Died)

It was love at first sight,
I don’t want you to go away,
Don’t leave me behind,
I thought we were friends.

You put a smile on my face,
Until you were gone the next day,
Don’t go away,
Please, don’t go away.

You were the best part of my life,
I could never live without you,
The beat of your heart, it stops,
I fall to my knees.

Don’t go…ahh oh…ahh oh…,
Memories we made, forever in my heart,
Your smiles, your name,
So I say, “don’t go away”.

Don’t go…ahh oh…ahh oh…,
Your cuddles, forever in my heart,
So, don’t go away, don’t go away,
Oh, oh, oh, I said, “don’t go away”.
