sweet bright eyes
closed forever
my baby is gone
a sweet cat that was
my best friend
14 years of days together
she groomed me when i was sad.
she groomed me this morning.
before we put her down.
scratchy tongue licking my head while i cried because i wasn’t ready to let her go.
but it was her time.
20 years is a long time to be a cat.
gone without pain
it is humane
and that keeps me sane
while i feel all this pain
a tiny cat
filled so much space
a giant hole
is in her place
so happy to see her when i get home
but she is not here
and i am lost
