The Emotions of Pet Loss.
"Secrets Of A Lost Soul" Terrible nightmares Dreams full of blood Gun shot's in the air screams sounding throughout the night Crying, yelling & swearing When will the terror subside Where is the love Where is the hope Not once over these days has the silence been as deadly as it is right now Tomorrow the same will follow Haunting memories visions of the good times & nightmares of the bad times Not once has there been a moment where freedom has surfaced Wandering aimlessly Darkness enveloping the light surrounding the world in shadows The creatures of the night come out to play & torture No one is safe from their enemies The soul suffers the heart weakens & the body stiffens A gasp of terror a need & an urgency to live No more life no more loving & no more hate Just emptiness Only a nightmare A reminisce of them So the person who you were once before would only be a secret, forgotten,Â discarded & replaceÂ Secrets of a lost soul is none at all Grieving families Friends weeping over them & everyone else is unaware The pain, the sympathy & lies No one honest No one true The end will come are you ready to meet your maker To see heaven or hell Death has come upon us To see life passing by To witness love ones go Where is the world you use to know But instead of love, happiness & life Its shadows, darkness & death One shot one heartbeat & one chance to breath your last breath No opportunity to live Pain, tears & hate An innocence shattered A life taken So young & free But not still the silence beckons & the darkness deceives The ability to help to just hold & pray To survive one more day When it's time just close your eyes Heart pounding No more breaths no more laughs no more tears & no more you Heaven or hell Time is precious Life is short Don't expect more Lost hopes & dreams Insanity will arise & questions will surface Secrets of a lost soul Only an answer for the unknown Â Spoken to those who've experienced wanting, needing & yearning Darkness is all you seek No more light No more sight No more thoughts No more anything Taken is all you receive When times up its up No more chances to love, show or change Life's short live it like you mean it & don't take anyone or anything for granted you'll eventually lose it Kage Devol (Hit & Run) February 28, 2007-January 29, 2008 The greatest companion a pet could be.

Yes this is, "a stark and riveting piece." It seems to describe some apocalyptic and event where the best way out is death. But then, at the end, it refers to a a pet that lasted less than a year and makes one wonder if this patent was "loved to death" in some kind of abuse that the caretaker misunderstood.

I have a much more upbeat look at life and will not writing like this except on Halloween where I try to write darkly sometimes to go beyond the usual kiddie approach.

The subtext in this is intriguing, sarai sage. It's difficult being human. But there is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent, hinder, or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. For some mysterious reason I've never 'wandered aimlessly'. Since I was a child I have always been focused and driven. Unfortunately, though, even with the Light shining on us, we still cast shadows that can affect others in less than stellar ways. Your piece brought to mind a quote by Pliny the Elder: "The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live, is an exact measure of the height which you can aspire to reach". A stark and riveting piece. Peace to you... r
