loving and losing

when i got home today,

there was this dreary aura in my home.

i ran up to my room and noticed a plastic bag on my bed,

it was on my pillow.

i was intrigued and stepped closer.

i dropped my bag and was struck with sadness,

it as my cats hair,

he was gone.


 

later that afternoon,

my other cat searched and sniffed for him,

but he was nowhere to be found.

she seemingly gave up and lay on the ground.

i petted her,

and cried,

oh how i cried so many tears.


 

i knew this was coming,

but it seemed so soon.

    my rights are in a chokehold,

    gasping for the air they once were able to breathe in deep.

    like a bird in the great open sky,

    or a puppy full of sweet little dreams.

    it has been years since it has happened.
