Never Forget

Grief
|
I knew, before I saw
That stiffened figure
Legs outstretched.
Perhaps if I hadn’t overslept…
Would an hour have made a difference?
Maybe there was something
I could have done?
Those short, seven hours of sleep…
Ironic how I awoke and he did not.
Just throw everything away
As if he were never here
Go ahead and purge this household
Of his very existence.
The only thing left to signify
His former presence:
Dusty cans of food
Perched upon a shelf.
This silence is deafening
Walls screaming of this loss
A small, seemingly insignificant
Soul forever lost
Never to utter a soothing murmur again.
You may have forgotten,
But I know I never will.

| I'm so sorry to hear about your kitten. This poem makes me just grab my kitty and hug him. Very heartfelt. Even though you only had him 3 weeks, they grow on you and I feel your pain. |

Saddest poem I've ever read.
Reminds me of my cat, Tetsuo,
who chose me. He died a year
later inexplicably. He was very smart
and energetic. When he was gone,
it was the first time I'd ever felt
the loss of a soul.
