Goodbye Sinead,
I loved that year with you.

Only she never meant you to be mine,
just stored you with me
like the books and the radiator
that still gather dust in my spare room.

Too bad my heart grew roots in you.

Only stored you with me.
Took you as she needed
Brought you back as she pleased.

Too bad I need you too.

I couldn't stand the uncertainty
not the reproach.
She hated my mess
I hated her messing with my life.

Will she take her today?
Will she bring her back from the walk?
Will she bring her home today?
I can't stand the uncertainty.

So this is goodbye.

6am
The night is over
says the radio.
Time to go to the baker.
Only you're not there.
I taught you to wait.
She hated you waiting outside.
Thought someone would steal you.
Now she stole you from me.

Pulled you from my arms
as I hugged you.
And you went.
Good dog.

Good bye.

Update:
My mother brought her back.
And I took her back.
Don't know for how long.... I better not expect any certainty.

Yea, he is. At first that wasn't much of a help - a cat just isn't the same as a dog - but by now I have recovered a little, so cuddling with him is no longer overshadowed by the loss of Sinead.

Thanks for the fav!
I wanted to write it up in plain prose, but it became more and more poetry-like.

I skimmed over my deviations today and I saw this. I'm so sorry, man... Take care.

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. " - Kahlil Gibran

Thanks! Sucks that it had to happen this way.

It is heartbreaking, isn't it, how a dog can break our heart by doing as it's told. How the will to please turns out to be cause of sorrow...

My heart goes out to you, my friend. It's one thing relinquishing a pet to the inescapability inherent in life, but yet another to have to give it up to live elsewhere.
