lyrics i wrote to a portion of a pretty lights song
i got woken up at 10am
my dad banging on my door saying get out of bed
your mother called and said the dog's not well
she might not make it, it's hard to tell
before i knew it i was on the floor
laying next to my puppy, i couldn't do more
i snuggled in her fur and whispered in her ear
we can both be strong together, we can both have no fear
she had trouble standing up but when i walked away
she followed me out, she mustered the strength
she didn't want to be alone and neither did i
we both knew what was coming, she was going to die
i took her in my arms and put her in the car
the ride felt like an hour though it's not that far
inside the vets' office i stayed by her side
holding back my tears were hard, i really tried
when the doctor called her name, she couldn't stand up
it hurt me so much to watch my poor little pup
i put her on the table and started to cry
i couldn't help it, she just had that look in her eye
i knelt down beside her and took her in my arms
i said don't be afraid the doctor means no harm
he took one look and knew it was time
euthanizing is so scary it's almost a crime
he shaved her leg in that certain spot
got the needle and prepped her for that fucking shot
she put her head on my shoulder and nuzzled my neck
i held onto her tight, bawling like a wreck
i stuffed my face in her fur and tried to comfort her
held her attention so she would ignore the doctor
i closed my eyes and listened to her breath
and as it slowly stopped i knew she had reached death
BREAK
i released my grip and felt her head slip
felt my tears drip, felt my heart skip as it got ripped
she was a friend in my life that i will never get back
that thought made me almost have a panic attack
i laid her head on the table as gently as i could
i didn't want this to happen but i knew that it would
laid my head opposite hers and looked in her eyes
pet her face and said good bye one last time
do you know what it's like to get a punch to the face
karma for putting yourself in the wrong place
do you know what it's like to break a bone
detaching its self from your body making it all alone
do you know what it's like to put something in your veins
something that when you don't have it causes you so much pain
none of this compares to what i felt today
causing me pain in a completely different way
my best friend, my sister, my one true love
can now only see me looking down from above
being there through it all, through all my hard times
saying nothing at all, just giving off good vibes
she had the heart of a saint and the strength of a beast
carrying through to the end, she is now at peace
with my protector gone, i must move on
start new with my life, do good, be strong
you will always be with me, on my ankle, in my heart
not even death can keep us apart
i'm sad you're not here but it's the best for us both
i can do it without you, i will never lose hope
15 years is a long ass life
and you made it a good one, avoiding all strife
you're a good girl meringue, have fun up in heaven
and i will never forget september 19, 2011
