Sleeping Outside With the Dogs
Alexander Martinez
Count your fingers and your toes
Are you still here with me?
Listen close or touch your nose
You said you're only here physically
Well, what could that mean?
Dear, what could that mean?
Where are you gonna sleep tonight?
While your body lies right here beside me
Sleeping outside with the dogs
Huddled in a warm cavity
Sold your brothers and your mom
You grew up fine but it was such a tragedy
And now I can't feel you here beside me
A soulless body howling for its family
A past life you can never escape
Why live a good life when your last one was great?
You have gone
outside to sleep
with the dogs
You have gone
outside to sleep
with the dogs
Outside to sleep with the dogs
Outside to sleep with the dog
You have gone
You have gone
