No Metaphors Lyrics

No Metaphors

I had to make a call

I had to book a slot

To put her down

The Suffering

Was becoming too much to bear

No metaphors

For days

And days

And days

I held her paws

With so much hope

All the way

Until the very last moment

Until life as I know it

Comes to an end

An IV on her right leg

Three injections

Yellow and transparent

First one to relax

The second dimmed the lights

By the third one

A minute felt like decades

Until the nurse announced

She's gone now

No metaphors

I didn't cry a river

But certainly a pond

Knowing now this real love

Only with the ether I'll share

No metaphors

My eyes and mouth

Were dry from too much love

Discovered I'm an endless source

Of kisses and tears

I'm dehydrated

So I drew a bath

But I don't draw baths

So I ate some ice cream

But it didn't cool down

So I grabbed my guitar

And I played you a song

But you are not here

Our bond is so strong

I know you can hear

No metaphors

So much love encapsulated

In a tiny furry body

And I write about it

Coz I wanna see the beauty in the moment

But for now I can't
