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.
