In Moonlight, I Weep

 

I can remember how things were before,
But mourning your loss fills my mind even more.

A thought of your softness, held close to my heart,
A flashback of burning-my mind comes apart.

I can't seem to get it, the fact that you're gone,
I need you to love me, to help me move on.

Who'll lick my face, as the tears trickle down?
How can you kiss me, if you're not around?

I miss you so badly, I wish you could see,
No pet is as special as you were to me.

Please do not think that I left you to die,
The guilt overwhelms me, I ache and I try...

I try to move on, but the hurt is so deep,
In daylight I'm numb, but in moonlight I weep.
