A dog wouldn’t leave his friend no matter what

It matters not what happened

it just matters that

a dog saw his friend killed

and so by her sat

this was in China

a busy main street

he just laid against her

licking her feet

I say this was China

for in China they eat

Dogs any dogs they find in the street

but this hound knew his place

beside his sick friend

who he knew he must sit with

right up till the end

it was winter and freezing

the wind blew and blew

but these two sad souls sat

one being true

the other had already passed on

had died

when hit by the truck

had been broken inside

her guts strewn around

her heart it had ceased

her soul was  away

it had been released

but despite all of that

and the cold and the frost

the dog lay beside his friend

bearing the cost

of potentially being hit by a truck

or someone coming by

him losing his luck

being carted away

to be eaten as well

but he didn’t care

with one look you could tell

he had loved her

there was no doubt

and that was why

he decided to lay with

and perhaps die
