daisy
oh sweet and innocent angel.
how sad it is that you must learn
the trials of this world.
and i’m sorry i couldn’t hold you when you left.
i’m sorry that i couldn’t take away your pain
god knows i tried.
god know that when you were gone i cried.
i remember you with your little bow.
and i remember the way you used to bark in the morning
by the gate. you’d just wait.
and someone would come and talk to you and hold you
and i feel like a little girl
because i’m crying during class.
but i’m just a little maudlin
i’m just a little sentimental.
i’m just a litle lugubrious
i miss her.
