Rocky

The loss of an animal companion

One that knows your language and everything you mean to say, but don’t

Every feeling you have, every dream not yet met

He knew all of these, knew me, and knew how much I counted on him to be the light in my life

Now that he’s gone, the void is like an ocean no longer filled with water,

But is just empty space waiting to not exist so the pain will go away

Rocky

I made you everything that meant life to me

Made you the reason I lived, the reason I pushed forward

You are gone from this world and I have to live without you

But I cannot.

I cannot live without you.

Cannot live without my eyes seeing yours,

Hearing your call in my ears,

Seeing your excitement for small things.

I cannot live without your face next to mine

Your head on my head

My lips on your fur, singing you all of your names

I love you

And you are gone from this world.

I love you

And I have to live without you.

I love you and I have to train myself how to be a human

While I was with you, it didn’t matter what species I was

I was your companion and you were mine.

We understood each other completely.

We were connected on every level.

You were my reason to live

And now you have left this world

And I have to now live without you.

You were my reason to live

And you left this world

And I have to train myself how to be a human.

I would have been happy forever with you,

sitting on the earth with your head in my lap.

Feeling your hooves, kissing your ears,

Singing you your names,

Giving you fruits and vegetable pieces.

You were my life in a Goat

And you are gone from this world

And I have to learn how to live without you.

You, whom I considered to be my life,

My life in a Goat.

And now you are gone

And I have to learn to live without you.
