Written when I was sad about my friend’s dog passing.
I can’t even imagine the pain that comes from losing your pet
I lost 2 pets at the same time, but not because of death but I still feel pain
After loss is probably the hardest feeling to describe
Something that was a part of your life, for so long taken too soon
I can’t pretend that I’ll be able to replace what was lost
I can say, if you need to talk and need someone to listen I’ll be there
Even if it’s sitting quietly, I want to be that safe place
When things we can’t understand come up, I get that sometimes we can’t speak
After loss, is the hardest time and if I said you will find another one I’d being lying
So much time invested, and so many memories shared
Don’t always have the words but I’ll make the time to listen
I can’t relate but in some ways I can, in other ways I can be a listener
Taking walks will always be different from here on out,
Trying to describe the silence, I am glad I don’t have to all the time
No words to express, and sometimes the words come flowing out
Along with the tears that come when memories rush in
