Sleeping dogs

You never asked
Never stopped to try
You walked on
Just glanced my way

You once said let sleeping dogs lie
Do you ever wonder, now the dogs are dead?

You spoke of moments stolen
Disjointed time for you
Patterns laid on me
I look back, now it’s gone

You once said let sleeping dogs lie
Do you ever wonder, now the dogs are dead?

At times I lived through you
Did you ever question?
Was it thrill-seeking ego?
Memory removed from emotion

You once said let sleeping dogs lie
Do you ever wonder, now the dogs are dead?

Who were you to me?
Who was I to you?
I was invisible
A picture, no person

Stolen moments returned
You once said let sleeping dogs lie
Do you ever wonder, now the dogs are dead?
It’s too late, now the dogs are dead
