Here Lies Blacky

It's been over a month since I've seen your face, I hope you're in a better place. When I see your saddening grave, You seem so helpless and tremendously brave. I'd love to be with you again, To see you playing around in your pin. I keep wishing on the brightest star, Because I know just where you are. When I look to the skies, They remind me of your beautiful eyes. I think you should know, my world is torn, It takes skills, trying not to mourn. My heart is fractured; it cannot be repaired, The feelings from my soul cannot be shared. Your fur so black, with specks of whites, Remind me of the darkest nights. My mouth whispers words of love, Like the angelic voice of a precious dove. Your eyes shine so lovingly bright, To create such a beautiful sight. I hold your image close, Like nature does a rose. The tears I shed are jewels from my heart, Without you I have no idea where to start. Missing you is all I can bare to do, Wandering around without a clue. Looking back at all those times I spent, thinking of you, My heart is lacking what is needed, it needs something true. I look over those days, wishing I could change the past, But knowing it all came way too fast. I'd always wanted a dog of my own, And you were the best dog I'd ever known. I'm sorry for all the times I pushed you down, Instead of picking you up, off the ground. The way your eyes used to glow, Let your true colors show. The date is carved in my heart, Written on every piece of art. And I'll keep wishing on the brightest star, Until I'm right where you are. I will never forget your loving face, I know you're in a better place.
