Dear my sweet Cilla, I haven’t been able to write any poems since you
left. My creativity has been nearly non-existent. It’s so hard.
---------------------------------
All
is quiet now
No meows to answer
No one to talk with
The
plans we made
I’ve had to let go
If only I’d been faster
The
vacuum goes on
No one runs
Your fur is disappearing
I
don’t want to lose you
Any part of you
But the fading begins
And
it hurts me
Because I promised forever
You are my soul mate
You
helped me learn
That I was ok being me
That I could be loved
You
taught me
To hold my ground
And stand up for myself
You
showed me
The sun feels good
As does a good snuggle
You
made it clear
Feelings were appropriate
And they were to be shared
You
loved me
When I felt alone
No matter what
And I
loved you as well
Bites on the face and
Knocked over bottles
You
taught me routine
You made me feel like
I had a place to be
I
miss our family
We never thought
It would end so soon.
I
love you Cilla,
Always and forever
