My Human

The stupid blue mask appears again today.

He wears it out almost every single day.

The stupid blue mask means my human’s going away.

The stupid blue mask means that he won’t stay.

Because of the mask we don’t even walk.

Because of the mask he keeps me locked.

Because of the mask I lost all I got.

Because of the mask I’m just left to rot.

Now my human is always angry.

Now my human starts to forget me.

Now he’s only here physically. 

Now the world just seems so ugly.

I wait for him to come back home.

Only for him to keep using his phone.

He even forgets to use my comb.

And I start to miss the bathing foam.

He used to love my bark.

I was the centre of his heart.

I wish we went back to the start.

When we were never apart.

He comes back from his meeting.

Just to ignore my wholesome greeting.

He shoves away my kiss.

It never used to be like this.

Before the mask my human had money.

Before the mask my human was happy.

Before the mask I was the lock to his key.

Before the mask my human really did love me.
