Goodbye

Goodbye

A cat,

Stops eating

A girl,

Told on the couch,

It is time,

Says a father,

A party to attend,

A tearful goodbye,

An overwhelming sadness,

A pit of great despair,

A hug from a friend,

A teddy bear clutched,

Unyielding tears,

As a cat,

Leaves this world behind


This is about when my cat passed away. She was my best friend, so it was really hard. I knew that she had lived her life, 16 years, but it was just so hard. I could tell her anything. We danced, snuggled. She was the only person (yes, I called her a person) that I actually felt comfortable singing to. I loved my Bair Bair so much. I miss her everyday, and, even after a year and a half without her, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. My life really just went downhill when she died. She died, then I learned that people didn't accept my emotions. Then COVID hit. Everything went downhill. I just want her back, but I know I can't have her. I want another cat, but my parents say no. I just want my life as it was. I miss you my Bair Kitty. Today, tommorow, and forever.
