The Crushing Weight of Loss and Regret
Oh, the tears I've cried
Since you left me
The aching in my soul
The pain won't let go
Oh, the hurt
Something inside me burns
It won't leave me
It won't go away
Why did you have to go?
I thought this was your home
Why did it have to be so soon?
Why couldn't you have stayed with me
Since I saw you lying there, lifeless
I knew it wasnt you
It wasnt you anymore
You left behind a shell
The life within your eyes was gone
And there you lay
Motionless
Your body was cold
Strength no longer filled your bones
Your heart no longer beat
Your countenance was hollow
As you lay there
I felt your fur once more
But all that was left was nothingness
There is now a void
Where you remained in my heart
And the reality of it all
Crushes my spirit
Under the weight
Of loss and regret
Why couldn't I have been with you
To comfort you as you left
Oh god, I miss you
And things will never be the same
I want you back, I want you here
I just want to see your face!
I want to feel the warmth
Of you by my side again
My precious, loyal companion
My one true friend
The bond we shared
Will never be forgotten
I will remember you
As long as I keep walking
You will not be lost
In the corners of my mind
You will live on
In my heart, you're still alive
I only wish I could have hugged you
Once more
I would have sacrificed my rest to be with you as you walked through that door
You meant the world to me
I loved you so much
When everything else around me failed
You comforted me with your touch
Now I can't hold your paw anymore
Now I can't pet you like I did before
I just hope you're okay
I hope you will remember me
I hope when I cross through those gates
You'll be there
Waiting for me
Oh how I long
To see your tail wagging again
As you run and leap across the fields
Where your weakness shall not exist
The struggle of age came upon you
But now you are free of those chains
You don't have to hurt anymore
I just hope you'll wait for me
Just know I'll make it there to you
I love you so much, my friend
Just know that I miss you
