Poem Artwork





So abruptly they did leave
No waves and no goodbyes
You have no idea of how I hurt
As tears pool in my eyes

You brought them last September
Some smiled, some cried, some stared
I said that they would be just fine
You left them in my care

So many head games they did play
Didn’t listen to my words
Sometimes they wanted blood from me
And frazzled all my nerves

Their unconditional love for me
The affection they displayed
Their trusting eyes, my swelling heart
Their cute and precious ways

Why did you take them like you did?
Do they cry for me sometimes?
I know they don’t belong to me
But during the day they’re mine

Was this the plan- is this the norm?
You should have let me know
I would have planned a special treat
Before they had to go

I should be used to this by now
It’s all been done before
I should be used to coming in
After you’ve walk them out the door

Eventually my face will fade
As their memories disappear
But I’ll remember the laughing smiles
And the time that they spent here

I hope one day you’ll bring them back
Their faces I’d love to see
This time they’ll leave with my goodbyes
And a kiss and hug from me

This is so beautifully written, though bittersweet!
It always hurts when they leave...
