I wrote this poem for my baby boy, Sme. He passed away about a year ago. I wanted to write something in remembrance to him emmediately after he died, but until now, I've been far too upset to put my grief & guilt into words. He was my very first male cat & I will never forget how loving, gentle, sensitive, unique & perfectly beautiful he was. I'm quite suprised that I even succeeded in finishing this poem considering I was balling my eyes out the entire time I wrote it...but I knew that only once I expressed my feelings for him could I then begin to heal. So here we are...a year later & I'm still broken to pieces. I only hope that my poem can help those who are hurting from losing their best friends. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think of it when your done...Thank you for reading[emoji]128575[/emoji]

The day began as normal until a knock came to my door~Then the news that you were gone made my heart go sore
I ran down the stairs & there you laid so still~A chunk was ripped from my heart where your love did fill
I knelt over your body & pressed my face into your fur~I pet your head so softly but I couldn't hear you pur
Nothing could stop my crying as I screamed your precious name~Nothing will stop the guilt for I'm the one to blame
I wasn't there to ease your pain when you closed your eyes~I wasn't there in the end when time came for goodbye
Now I stand here grieving, my tears drop on your grave~Nothing will replace the unconditional love that you gave
You came into my dreams & told me you were ok~You told me not to worry cuz Rainbow Bridge is where you now lay
I tell you that I'm sorry for not knowing that you were ill~You then say "its fine, mommy" & that you love me still
I beg you to come with me & that I'll never let you go~But you tell me we're in a dream & that the answer must be no
You just wanted to say goodbye & express to me your love~And that you'll always be watching me from a cloud above
Then you begin to fade but I just can't let go~There's one more thing that I need to let you know
"Sme, I'll miss you so much & u'll never be replaced!"~I see your smile once more & then you vanish w/ no trace
Now that ive said goodbye the healing can start~Never will I forget you & you'll ALWAYS be in my heart.
(RIP SME)
I LOVE YOU
