A sad poem about a dog

Wait for me, I will come back

Another night has passed, I open my tired eyes,
a new day, new hope.. maybe today he will come..
I am a little hungry and thirsty, I have not eaten in a long while..
and along the way I have met many friends just like me.
But never mind.. it does not matter.. I still have strength and will..
I still remember your words, wait for me... I will come back..
And so, since that day, I take a walk and come back
and wait in the same spot, and I just cannot understand..
People pass by, each going their own way,
I look for a familiar face and wag my little tail.
Some give me a little pat, some kick me with their foot,
but never mind, all of that will pass and I will be with you again.
And then I remember, when things get hard,
the day I came into your house, among all those new people.
You all laughed so much, I fit in the palm of a hand,
you said you loved me, that you would never give me away.
And I was happy, and even then I knew,
that if it were ever needed, I would give my life for you.
I followed you everywhere, we shared joy and sorrow,
and I trusted no one the way I trusted you, my best friend.
That is why it felt so strange to me on that day,
you looked at me for a long time, then took me out of the flat.
And we set off on a drive, a rather long one,
we passed many streets.. and a bridge.. and some river..
Then we suddenly stopped, you hid your eyes from me,
you told me to wait for you and that you would surely come back.
And I was left confused, I watched you go for a long time,
alone in an unfamiliar place, not knowing where to turn.
And the days went by, hard ones, but I kept my spirits up,
in every person who passed by, I was looking for you.
Much time has passed since then, summers and winters have come and gone,
when it was hardest for me, I called out your name.
Come.. please, come.. everything will be all right,
I will ask nothing of you, not even a crust of bread.
But you do not come, you never come, I have no strength left,
slowly I close my eyes, I am getting ready for my last journey.
And if you ever do come.. maybe you will not.. but if you do..
know that I waited for you a long time and that I loved you so much..
As the dawn slowly breaks, I breathe my last breath..
I ask you to forgive me, I could not go on any longer..
