How Could You?
by Yuli Zucker
How could you leave it behind in the dust and you say it to be your fate
How could you leave it to wilt there like a flower without the sun
You promised to come back to it you have not
It is lonely now without an owner like a stray dog
Isn’t it creeping back into your mind? Shouldn’t it?
