Poem About The Death Of My Dog

My dog, Shorty, died on May 9, 2014. I've had her since I was 4, and I'm 16 now. The veterinarian said her liver was twice the size of a normal one and that her heart was growing. She was going to turn 12 on August 1. She was there for me the day I tried to commit suicide. I love her so much, and I can't accept the idea that she's gone forever, how I won't be able to ever see her anymore. It hurts, but I know she's happy. I understand how people feel when their pet dies. It hurts.

Shorty In Peace

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2014 with permission of the Author.

Slowly and slowly,
She started to fall.
Her eyes opened and closed
As she blinked.
Her heart full of tears
And pain.
She knows it's time to go.
As she starts to say her last goodbye,
She looks at me with so much pain.
She was strong,
But the pain was far too strong
To bear.
She hid her pain
Between the kisses and the cuddles.
She knew how much I loved her.
She didn't want to hurt me.
It was the best for me and her.
She was so strong,
How much she survived.
But she was stronger
To be able to let go
Knowing how bad it would hurt.
She's happy; she's healthy
As she watches me from above.
