Woof over my head

Dusk falls

Moon wanes

Gathering clouds

Familiar lanes

A storm is brewing as I near

Trepidation rising, to slight fear

Love left here, it went to hell

My finger presses on the bell

I step into those rooms I painted

Seething feelings, now all tainted

Pussycat purrs, and wild doggie greetings

In contrast to our latest meetings

Where you conjure words from our past life

Stabbing my heart, with each syllable knife

As agreed, I remove every trace

Drive away, with tears on my face

You curse me

Finally close the door

Don’t come around here

Anymore

I knew long ago

That, was that

The tears I cry are

for the dog, and cat.
