I hold your tiny life in my hands; an insignificant sparkle of joy.
Now left to dwindle in the fading light; those simple dark eyes that used to shine through the night.
The loss of such a small life, I see it ebbing away before me in the torment of this slow, calm death.
I just sit here; watching, waiting for that last little breath...
Your feedback helps naaviie understand what's working
23, Vegetarian, (insanely busy) Vet student pondering about love, life and dragons.
I wrote a letter to express my love, Ill care for you dearly even if I am doing so from above, I wrote these words in hope you'd never read them, But what did we expect when I entered this battle...
She lies inside her coffin: A case of ice and glass, With legs of smoothest ivory, And handles carved of brass.
An old movie on the tv, A book in your hand and a cup of tea. A normal scene, I do admit, But on closer glance, it did not fit. Your skin was pale, and head tilted to the side.
It's so wrong, seeing him there. Laying in a bed that isn't his. Breathing air that isn't his. Surrounded by walls that aren't his. Walls of death. Why do they paint the walls in this color.
I'm about to collapse Beneath the weight Of this nonsense To all of this shit That life keeps throwing Against my every defence Infecting my system Rotting my core Destroying from within And...
Missa defunctorum. Gone are the lights. Gone are the sounds. Gone are the smells. With you not around. Gone are the days. Gone are the nights. Gone are the dreams. With you from my life.
When I laid there beside you, Could you feel me there. My arms were wrapped around you, And I was stroking your hair. I was talking about all the good times, For me they were every single day.
The stillness of the blood in my veins, pains my un beating heart. As my final breath hangs on free flowing chains, My fear is for now we must part.
@misslittleDHP @leelee101 - thank you ☺ it's my little old man hamster who's dying... Funny how you get so fond of pets 😢🐹
@naaviie I figured it was a pet Hun ....I remember my guinea pig last year passed away in his sleep...I stopped having rats and hamsters as I used to be so gutted when they died...having said that I'm getting some rescue guineas next year...how old is your hamster my sweet?
@misslittleDHP - awww it is really tough, especially as I know what's happening to him, at least I know he's not in pain. Feel like such a soppy git though! He's about 2 and a half, he's a Syrian hamster so that's pretty good. 💚💚 ah I love guineas they are such great pets! You will have lots of fun with them, I'm sure they'll be great with the kids too 😊😊
@naaviie I had never had guinea pigs before but I used to work at a care home and the residents showed no interest in them...when I left there I asked if I could have them...one lived for 5 years and the other for 5 and a half...they were six months old when I got them!....I also had a hamster called Hannah who was the gentlest soul and she was 5 when she died, she was bald except for her ears and a few tufts are her bum...I adored her....she died curled up in my hand.....god I'm welling up now....anyway Hun I send you big hugs and you are not being silly...it's an animal that you've loved and cared for...if only everyone was like you and me with their pets....😘😘💪💪💪💪💔❤💔
Awwww hun, hamsters are so adorable we had a Syrian one that lived to 3! Definately going to get one for pops when she's older...this is a lovely little tribute to him big hugs I can relate to how your feeling 😔😢😘
@misslittleDHP awwww that is so sweet with your piggies and Hannah 😢😢 you will have me welling up again! Certainly wish more people cared a bit more... Would be a better world 💚💚
@sjw - awww wow that I great for yours to live to three 😊😊 unfortunately my little one has amyloidosis so his body is just shutting down now. He'll drift off in his sleep any day now... 😢😢
@sjw oops pressed send to soon!! Great idea to get one for Pops, always the care of something else is important for kids IMO 💚💚💚💚
@sjw - it's a geriatric disease where a certain protein builds up in the kidneys, which causes them to fail gradually over time. You can tell because the hamster needs to drink more, pee more and sleeps more, loses condition etc. Poor little old man!! 💚💚
