I’d gone from drowning in the gutters,
To swimming through the skies,
Loving clouds who muttered,
Secrets, tales, and lies.
I’m loyal like a dog,
And I’ll be your own Laika,
Lead you through the night,
Until the day you wake up.
Loyal as the little barker,
Just tell me what to do,
And I’ll perform most any trick,
I’ll fetch the stars for you.
A stray, a pest who liked to roam,
Until your arms felt like home,
And I’ll stay here until I die,
As a forgotten name among the sky.
