Losing an animal

I've held many creatures 

Void of life

But it's never as hard 

As when it's your own

 

No pulse, no

Breathing 

Just an empty 

Shell that once was

 

The shock is 

The first to rise

Like a wall

Coming crashing in

 

Then the guilt 

Wells up in my mind 

"I could have

Done better"

 

But life still 

Carries on

I have things 

To get done 

 

You'll always have

A place in my heart

My dear sweet 

Guinea pig

  • Better than Before

    I've never been the lucky type

    That's just never been my plight

    But now I'm standing in the light

     

    I found a person good for me

    A sweet girl, kind and neat

    But yet she knows how to bring the heat
