A Sonnet for Fluffy

I once had 2 guinea pigs. One died in a tragic way. This is a sonnet for Fluffy.

The scent of dying lilac fills the air

In the place where I postpone time; space;

The very place where Death came and made a tear

In the place you dwelled in my heart; that place

Is still broken and bruised, not quite yet healed

Even though it was three summers ago

Feelings of sadness are still being feeled

And despair in my heart blooms like a rose

Regret has consumed me, I do confess

I wish I had been there to rip Fate apart

When you came, you brought me much happiness

But when you left me, sorrow stole my heart

When the waves of life are choppy and rough

I wish you were here, my darling, sweet Fluff.

I can feel the compassion you held for him throughout the piece. Losing a pet is always hard, but writing your emotions always seems to help. Overall amazing job. I loved it :)
