Alone Again
I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why I have to stay outside and left alone so long.
She seemed so glad to have me when I came here.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
He couldn't wait to train me as a companion and friend.
And told me how I'd never fear being left alone again.
They said they'd feed me and brush me everyday.
They'd play with me and love me if only I could stay.
But now they "haven't time", she often says I shed.
They do not want me in the house, not even to be fed.
He never plays with me. They always say "NOT NOW!"
I wish that I could please her. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love. I wish they would explain:
Why she said she wanted me, then left me out to die?
