Farewell, my angel
Until this life ends
And I see you again
I lie in darkness
Tossing and turning
In the void you left behind
I still hear my own screams
I still feel the agony in my heart
Spilling out of my eyes
And onto my father’s shirt
As I grappled with the gut-wrenching news
It was too soon...
I wasn’t ready...
I was waiting to see you...
I was going to hold you close again
I was going to feel you in my arms
I was going to stroke your face and kiss your head
I was going to hear you purring in my ear...
I wanted to feel your whiskers tickling my neck
I wanted to hear you meowing
I wanted to feel you pawing at my necklaces
I wanted to crawl into bed, and battle with you for control of the blanket
I wanted to see you sneak inside my guitar case...just once...
I didn’t want to feel my face go numb
I didn’t want to scream myself hoarse
I didn’t want my body to wrack with sobs
Baby kitty, why now?
Why did you have to leave me here?
The family will never be the same without you
Goodbye, my sunshine
Farewell, my angel
Until this life ends
And I see you again
