Missing

Days have gone by, exactly 13,
Where are you hiding? You haven't been seen.
One careless mistake, then suddenly you're gone,
Where are you now? To where have you run?

You said you'd always be by my side,
Where did you go? It's no time to hide.
Please come back home, if you know the way,
I miss you more than I can say.

I've wandered the streets in withering hope,
To see you running down a slope,
And jump to my arms, lick my face,
Quit my looking, stop my chase.

But it's hard to accept I won't see you again,
My first pal of all, my very best friend,
Or hear your barks as I come home,
The house is empty, I'm all alone.

I miss you sleeping by my side,
Siting with me, watching the tide.
Your furry head atop my leg,
Teaching you to sit, teaching you to beg.

My tears won't stop, I'm bound by fear,
Waiting by the phone, hoping to hear.
Yet nobody calls and my heart breaks in two,

Please come home, I'm waiting for you.
