The Void In My Heart
my hands hang heavy and useless by my side
fingers that stroked your thick white fur feel lost
i burst into bolts of tears
they fall into the lifeless void
where you sat and kept me company
the silence smacks me hard
i want to hear your happy pants
memories flood over me til i’m drowning inside
i long to see your devoted face and loving eyes
to relive those happy, carefree moments
but the deafening void clings to me mercilessly
backyard trees droop sadly to the ground
the yard is empty without your paws patrolling the paths
i cannot hear the birds chirping in the trees
i cannot see the butterflies meandering in the garden
i cannot smell the sweetness of the jasmine
for the void is too vast and too deep
one cannot stop the waves from crashing into the shore.
