Sometimes you want to just find something out so badly
You beat on the door and knock
No answer to your call
You try to see through a peep hole
You see nothing but whiteness filling the room
You shake the doorknob trying to get in
You finally are let in
You walk down the hall to play
Playing with friends they will always be
An animal was shot
You hear in a flash
You say you need to go to the bathroom
You leave the room and shut the door
So quietly not a noise
You walk towards the voices
You walk in the room and ask
They just stare down at you
Tears flowing from the eyes
They say a dog was shot because of heartworms
Your eyes fill with tears
You walk to the bathroom
You shut your eyes and try to forget
Nothing happens your soul has been crushed
You pretend you don't know what happened
You walk in the room and continue to play
You have already rid your eyes of tears
For a tear could not change what had happened
The dog you loved so much
Not even yours and you were sad
Curiosity had now killed your soul
The cat was killed
This time satisfaction didn't bring it back
Only knowing what had happened haunted it's soul forever from that point on
Author notes
I am partly the cat in this poem/story but it is sadly true and in my family too I still love them but I will never forgive the one who did the horrible crime for one shot didn't kill the dog it just easily wounded it so they had to shot again the children heard the shot but they lied about what had happened to it. The memory still does haunt me today but I don't show my tears. The image of that dog is on their computer screen and it just kills my soul to remember that time I remember it like it was just yesterday getting hit by his huge tail even though it was so many years ago that it had happened I still remember... I also was listening to some sad music that made me remember even more so I wrote this poem as a tribute to the dog.

This is a very sweet and heartfelt piece. I can understand why that memory still haunts you. You were, a child, and the death of the dog and the way it happened would be scarring for any child.

*giant hugs for Hammy* I am SO sorry. That haunting shot, gah I have my own ghosts, but they are not within my own family, just at a certain hazy corner of my mind.
