I'll miss you

The house is lonely now.
Life is going to be lonely now. More than my dog, my friend.
 If not for my family I don't think I could deal with this. I wouldn't be alive if not for her. 
She was my friend. 
I don't ever want another,  not fair they have such short lives. Thank you for spending your life with me. ..  
My heart is heavy. Most of me  wished I could go with her.  Life has never been good for me.  Love, I think is not worth the pain. 
Life was better when I felt nothing..
I'm thankful for the time we had together. 
You taught me to control my rage. Cause I didn't like to scare you. You kept me free cause I would never do something to risk losing you. 
I lose you anyway. 
Love is pain. 
I wish to cry
 ....So I do....
I feel so much pain right now. 
Because I allow myself to feel love. 
The shadow fell over my heart. 
Can I go on . I have no choice. 
You was as my child. 
I know I'm still human. Cause I'm hurting inside my soul. 
Love is pain. 
Life isn't so bright. 
I lost my light. 
Do I want to go on. No not really. But I will. 
Got no choice. 
I love you Jinjin.  
Goodbye baby girl.

William, I am sorry for your deep loss. I know too well this pain you are feeling as I lost a beloved pet not long ago. The price of love is grief. Your poem is beautifully penned, your pain is etched in every line, every word and congratulations on receiving a deserving POTD honor ~

May I ask who JinJin was, I see now, your lovely dog, what kind was she? I'm sorry for your loss, one that has healed you in her own precious way. Thank you for sharing this endearing tribute & congratulations to you on Poem Of The Day! Easter blessings~ I Am Anaya

She was my service dog. Found her in a box along side the road. Was the only one alive. Nursed her to health. Later became my service dog. As well as my friend. She rescued me. In truth.

Hello William, Fine farewell to a friend you could trust; enough for anyone or any living, loving thing. Words formed so well from a broken hearted soul's loss and final goodbye. Strange that they can teach us how to love and be loved. They always knew how. -Richard
