Ok, this one I wrote after watching Marley & Me. 

Marley,
Marley,
Marley,
You held your loving heart to my hands,
Made me shed three tears and left,
Fourteen years of pure frustration,
Love,
Hate,
Sleepless,
And sad.
I will never forget my memories of our past,
Never will answering machines look the same,
In your orange poop,
Those pieces laid,
Like a chewed up heart that was spit away,
I cried tonight,
My tears a flight,
Flying with gravity,
To the leafy fall ground,
I could see you struggle,
Even through your twisted stomach,
It may seem,
A fighter,
A great friend,
Mischievous,
And friendly you may seem,
But in your heart love is found,
Bringing the family that was now found,
Together,
Happy and free,
Till you fell to a ordinary dream,
A nightmare,
A cry,
The rain,
The needle,
Your eternal sleep,
Now you lay with a heavy tired and happy heart,
Awaiting in heaven,
You shall be,
Like a loving friend,
Or a uncle lost too soon,
With open arms and a happy hug,
But for you it was a kiss,
A wag of a tail,
A tired sigh.
