Extracting bone and flesh and fur,
Swear our future’s better rid of yours.
And maybe we had never met,
Maybe I’m a fool,
But regardless, I’ll still let
Myself miss you.
Benjamin, my baby,
Benji, my little puppy,
They hated you, they hurt you,
They left you to rot in rain and night,
And now, well, how’s the other side?
Abandonment is a feral body,
Neglect snagged you like a snare,
Benji, my perfect little baby,
My baby, gone too soon, I care.
In feather-soft lullaby,
I’ll whisper to you my goodbye.
You did well, you were perfect,
And still, they left you derelict.
And so, in soft lullaby,
I’ll wish you a calm goodnight,
Benji, please don’t cry,
Baby, I’ll see you on the other side.
