A collection of poems

I’m so sorry my Emma.
I should not be crying hysterically.
But you were still and always will be my kitty.
I remember when I first met you.
You, your mom and siblings were rescued.
You were always the spunky one out of your crew.
You were so sweet, you’d get excited when Id clean the room.
You knew seeing me meant treats for you.
You started to like me.
And I fell inlove with you.
Then I was sad, but happy when someone adopted you.
I cried but was elated someone will get to experience the sweet sunny spirit in you.
Then sadly my sister died, and I was so broken.
And left utterly empty inside.
But Something happened and you came back into my life.
Like she sent you, to try to comfort my heart and make it feel alright.
So I adopted you, and I loved you.
It took a year for you to acclimate to everything new.
But once you did, you were a silly little cat who enjoyed antagonizing the birds under the sun rays out back.
Then one day the universe took it all away. The house, the birds your safe space.
Your home, your happiness and grace.
I had to make the heart wrenching decision to give you away.
As I had no choice I was looking for a home to stay.
I thought I sent you to a safe place.
Where you would get love, care and kindess for the rest of your long days.
I’m so sorry you died alone, without me.
Without comfort, that broke me.
I hope you are running free.
Please do me a favor say hi to my sissy.
I will always love you Emma, my kitty.

I’m so sorry Emma. I will always Love you.

    😢😢😢😢 I appreciate how raw and real this was. There was no holding back here.

    Indeed as you said, you will find your Emma again. She had such a beautiful black and white coat by the way! I also loved that you gave a little glimpse of the backstory of the history between you two, and of her unique personality. There is nothing in the world like the unconditional love that you get to experience from a cat like her.

    The unbearable feeling of pain right now truly shows that no one else loved her like you did. I hate death, and I hate the love that it always takes away. I hate it within every fiber of my being.

    My prayers, energy, and soul are with you Sierra. This is such a beautiful and heartbreaking tribute to her. This deserves all of the love and appreciation that it will inevitably get. 🙏🏻

      Your comment and response alone made posting it worth it. Thank you for always being a bright light.

      She was a good cat. I am not a cat person. I was an Emma person. Guilt is having its way with me but it will soon tiresome. I miss her and hope my sister takes care of her until I can see them both again. My heart is being held together by scotch tape.

        Indeed it was worth it. Especially for dear Emma. Hearing and seeing your sadness breaks my heart. *Lifts up your chin* Give everything in your power to not let this guilt swallow you whole.
