JUST DOG & YOU.

You often wonder
Where it all went wrong
And why the expanse

Of sky darkened with
The coming of the
Words: no longer love

You, in fact, never
Did, just needed to
Have you about me

To keep company
When no one else would
Do, now they've gone, found

Someone else to hurt
And spoil and bring their
Heart to heat and boil

Then leave to cool like
They left you, just you
Now and the dog all

Alone and Buddy
Holly singing on
The old gramophone.

So nicely told. Great poetic flow and imagery. I like the picture you chose to go with this piece, very appropriate and lends to the sentiment of the poem. Great job.
