Looking around
No more can be seen
Your shadow is gone
I won’t touch again
Your slender figure...

One follows the others
Tears like it’s raining
While I pass and notice
Your old belongings
Still on my bed.

Hell, why was it you
Why, why was it you
Who had to leave
And be ever since missing

Why, why was it you
I question again
As I raise my hands
To hold my weak shoulders.

It is so pure what I felt
When you were siding
My days and mood
Never refusing,
Never complaining
Always you gave me
Greatest affection.

You’d put your head
Resting on my shoulder
Or you’d hide it playfully
Under my open hand,
So I’d caress it.

And my hands now feel dried
As if that was what
Had made them softer.

And my heart now is withered
As if that was what
Had made it rejoice.

Why, why was it you
Why had a love so pure
To meet its ending season?

Why do I have to be here
Deprived of your calling
Of your presence
Of your eternal faith
Of the sweetness
So unique to you?

Now just remained
The memory of our days
While sometimes I would
As if in a dream
Call for you, expecting
That you would answer
And come to me.

And of all this is most cruel
To still be believing
That you might come back
And with your love
Heal my shattered heart.
To :iconinsanityfreak: , my good friend. This is how I will feel when my dog will, in the end, leave me. As a similar thing happened to her, I tried my best to convey these feelings in a poem. I had promised I would write a poem for you about it, didn’t I? I just hope I conveyed your feelings well enough.
:hug: It is really sad, the day of goodbye. I dread to think that mine, too, will come and it will always be too soon. The love of an animal is the most caring and pure in the world, for they give us exactly everything they have to give...
:heart: darling, may you heal soon and feel better. If I could bring Wesker to you to help your heart to be glad again, I’d surely would ;)

I made it in order to be rather vague so it could be applied both to animals (pets, in this case) or persons; the only part which sounds a bit strange is the sixth stanza, maybe. Moreover, it is in the "songs" category because indeed, it's a hymn to be sung in memory of a beloved one. I hope you didn’t mind the absence of rhymes, also. It was indeed required...

Thank you for reading, and understanding.

This is so beautiful! And it brought me tears. I just recently lost my dog, who has been there for over half of my life. I know that I one day will see her again, but that doesn't make me miss her any less.

Your hymn does a beautiful job at capturing the emotions of loss, and how we look for them, though we know that they are gone.
