Sirus
Poetry by: Lucas Turner-Harris
Written June 22, 2013
I just don’t care anymore
I feel so empty inside,
The thought of losing my best friend
Something my brain won’t let me hide.
Only two years old,
Bonded happily since youth,
You were my best friend
You still are that’s the truth.
If my life wasn’t so fucked
You probably would of still been alive,
But because I’m such a failure
It’s caused you to lose your life.
I wish life was like a game
I wish you had nine lives,
I wish you were still here
I wish I could hold in the cries.
The tears fall down my cheek
As I sit here and write this note,
I really miss the way
You used to sit down and lick your coat.
From the first day we met
I glanced at you in your cage,
Yes there were other choices
But to me you looked well-tamed.
I held you at your youth
I held you when you escaped,
I held you when I rescued you
And held you when you aged.
I’ve been so selfish
Only worrying about myself,
Some people might say ‘he’s just a cat’
I’m not listening to anybody else.
I’ve been focused on my pain
I started noticing your signs,
I was in a dilemma
Forgive me for not trying.
You will never be replaced
You’re always linked to my heart,
I held you for the last time
My thoughts were off the charts.
It just seems so unreal
Could you have gone another day?
What if you didn’t go
Would you have still stayed?
I hope wherever you are
You know I love you so,
I have the tears to prove it
I can make more for you though.
It’s just really hard
To say goodbye so soon,
Please come back to me
I’ll go fucking get you the moon.
I miss your little meows and eeks
And every sneaky thing you did,
It still feels like you are here
Or hiding under the couch like a kid.
Please forgive me,
For not doing my best,
You ARE my best friend
I love you Sirus!!!
RIP 6-22-13 ='(
FOR YOU I’LL SHED A THOUSAND TEARS.
