Favorite Christmas Present

‘How can it be that you’re not here with me?’ Babygirl

I feel lighter
I’ve always been a crier
And I’m sick of this heat wave
At 8:00 PM

Little sparks
Make their way into the AM dark

For six months my throats been tight
We can give up on life
But life never gives up on us

Every sky was tall as Narnia
In all those saffron lurid mornings
You won’t be there
All aged and torn
You were my best friend the moment I was born
And in the arcadia light
My world was torn asunder
It all went still
The thunder
The summer
The summary of false recovery

The collosal hole that collapses in my chest when I think of you
Is amazing
How much I miss you
is breathtaking

Everything I’ve ever lost is so little to this
Gone too soon
I can’t get over it
I’m so pissed

Hysteria in my heart
I hardly even realize you’re gone

There was no day or page where I let the river flow
There will be no day or age I truly let you go
I hope you like the rose
I hear your crow
I’m sorry I didn’t see the infection inside you grow

It’s okay now
You can go on your own

There’s dandelions in your fur
Hope in all ways you left behind your purr

Dear Vertigo Cat, my mind wandered, but not in the heat. Middle of the night and it's quite a cold one. My cat's snuggled up near my feet. Your delightful meanderings had me thinking about all the cats I've loved and lost and there have been quite a few of them over my lifetime. I am very much a cat person. Eight cats in all and I pondered on all of them. Remembered their individual little ways and how funny they could be. They all ruled the house. Thank you for nice memories.

Yes, they always have their odd distinct habits and their always ‘rulers’ of the house, haha. And I love dogs but sometimes they’re like jesters! Thank you so much for the review.
