Dear Daniel,
Death isn’t all that bad you know,
You only go through it once,
But without you, I die every day of my life.
But I bet you don’t even know that I cry myself to sleep.
Replaying every moment, wondering where I went wrong.
I tell my heart to stop getting involved with everything,
It’s job is to pump blood,
And that’s it.
It isn’t meant to make me feel worse.
We were soul mates you and me,
Inseparable was what you said,
We had soo much fun,
And shared soo many memories.
So why then did you abandon me,
Just because your girlfriend didn’t like me.
Who cares what she thinks, you and me were meant to be.
It hurts the most when the person,
Who made you feel soo special yesterday
Makes you feel unwanted today.
You did that to me.
You tied me to a lamppost,
In a dark alley that no-one crossed,
I spend too much time thinking about you,
But of course you don’t care
I yelped but no-one heard me,
I barked but not a soul stirred.
Rain fell like big tear drops,
To accompany the stream coming from my eyes.
There is a definition for ‘abandoning’ leaving someone to die,
When they have done nothing wrong,
No-one listens no-one cares
I kept telling myself, that you would come back for me.
But you proved me wrong. Day, after day, after, day.
I wrote this not for sympathy or kindness,
But if you ever look back,
And notice how you have acted,
I want you to know that I love you.
It is not easy to love someone,
Who used to love you.

Your ever loving dog
Good work! I changed the title, hope you don’t mind. I like the way the poem wrong-foots you half way through – the original title would have given it away. I also removed Daniel’s surname – just in case he’s a real person.
