Collapse


Five days apart and they were gone

Leaving behind their now orphaned little one

My four-legged friends with their own personalities

Have gone away and shown me reality

How the world around us is as fragile as glass

and how one wrong move can cause it to collapse

My four-legged friends that I swear could talk 

That left so suddenly it gave me a shock

but if we think too much of friends in the past 

the future ones will have no room to last
