Past Hauntings

Just an old friends ramblings...

The past haunts us,
It breaks us when we are our strongest,
I thought I had dealt with your death,
I thought that I was past this stage,
But it turns out I'm not.
Just remembering who you were,
How much you meant to me,
And yet tears still stain the paper when i envisage you,
When I see your furry head looking around at me,
And I feel your fur running through my fingers again,
I can feel your warm breath on my face as you stare at me,
I shouldn't be this emotional,
I shouldn't be crying but I am.
What is wrong with me?
I dug your grave, I said my goodbyes, I made your grave head,
But I still cry when I think of you,
I miss you Cerberus,
I still love you,
It starts with a single silent tear,
Then the rest follow,
I wish I could see you again,
I wish you didn't have to die,
You were my best-friend, my brother, my pet,
I was by your side 'till the end,
I carried you to the car, I cupped your head as they injected you,
I dug your grave and I filled it.
I love you Cerberus, and I always will my friend,
Goodbye old friend, I always will miss you.

Your words... they say everything a person could feel, wow, I love how you put detail in to what you write, it's amazing.

I felt the sadness in this poem, but more were the words portrayed within each line; and yea so true is it that no matter how hard we run and hide our past haunts us.
