Sweet Jeremy

With so much love in your eyes
But then gentle eyes rarely tells lies

How sweet his behavior, how kind he was
I loved my Jeremy, he was my best friend because

Into his ear I would whisper all of my hidden secrets
He loved me in spite of the fact he knew of all my dark spirits

He listened to me ramble, even cuddled me more
He'd just stand there waiting by the screen door

I loved my Jeremy with all of my heart
But some dumb dog ripped my Jeremy apart

They ripped his throat out and chewed off his baby ears
How did my family not hear his scared desperate noises of fear?

I'd hunt down the dog who killed my baby
Maybe that would bring back a bit of my happy

But for now I shall curl up in a ball and cry
Why, my baby Jeremy, why'd you have to die?
