pathetic

my neighbours left their dog at home, the last time they went away, i guess they had their friends come 'round, and feed him through the day, but i still hear him crying, and complaining of the pain, so i put my head over the fence, to see if he was ok, i spoke to him and said, we're the same you and me, but he gave me a look as if to say, i'm just lonely, i'm not scared
