I have cried myself to sleep, <br />I've whispered your sweet name. <br />Nothing I do, will bring you back. <br />My pain is all in vain. <br />If heaven is really there, <br />and you can see my heart, <br />help me ease this pain, <br />of love cut so short. <br /> <br />I gaze at your pictures, <br />of times that now have passed. <br />Please help me understand, <br />why you had to leave so fast. <br /> <br />I found you in a broken home, <br />where all you knew was fear. <br />I was in the same pain, <br />a few months before, <br />I saw your sweet face here. <br /> <br />The years have passed, <br />but still I sit and cry. <br />I've lost my best friend, <br />and I had to help him die. <br /> <br />My sweet Buddy, I miss <br />your barks, your love and kiss. <br />It's everyday that I find, <br />it's you I really miss. <br /> <br />You saved me from pain, <br />and abuse through the years, <br />I saved you too, <br />our lives entwined by fear. <br /> <br />I held you close, <br />right until the end. <br />I watched your eyes fade, <br />as you departed for heaven. <br /> <br />Please my dear sweet boy, <br />watch down on me and smile, <br />one day I promise you, <br />I'll walk the stairs you did. <br />I'll sit next to you, <br />side by side, like we always did.<br /><br />Katie Champeau<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dear-sweet-buddy/
