For My Best Friend...

Death,
It happens everyday
Every second,
Every moment

It's taken away some people,
Friends, Family, and Pets
That are very dear to me

It took away my dearest friend
Both loyal and loving to me
He was an extremely good friend

He was a pup
An adorable pup
Nell was his name

He's been with me for so long
Through thick and thin
He was there for me

I am not the emotional type
It was rare for me,
to shed a single tear

But like an arrow to the chest
I felt the pain and sorrow
That he left me to feel

The emptiness
The loneliness
The regret
I felt it all alone

If he was here right now,
I would apologize
I would thank him
I would beg him to stay

But all these feelings
And all these plans
Are just my wishful thinking
And it will remain that way, forever

In the end,
All of this pain has taught me,
That nothing lasts forever
That nothing is eternal

All this brought my naive self
Back to the tragic reality
Of the world we live in now
And of what is sure to come

I have learned a lesson
A lesson that I wished I had never learned
A lesson I wish I didn't had to pay so much for to learn
