Thanks man, yeah it's been tough these past few days, I've found the best coping mechanisms so far to be writing and whiskey :/

Damn... Lowkey tearing up here reading this dude. Writing is definitely one way to try and sort out heavy shit. I agree with the other guy, I def think that you've got a sturdy base here if you decide to continue. I know it may not make you fell better but it's a way to remember him and remember the sweet memories along with the sad

Poetry can certainly help with the grieving process. I can tell that you cared deeply for your pet. If this is your first poem (or one of your first), I would say that you should stick with it. It's an excellent start.

So I'm new to all this, don't know formats or really anything else about proper poetry, but I just had to put my cat of 18 years down 2 hours ago (he had cancer) and watching him die in my lap is really fucking with me. Idk what I'm trying to say I don't need anyone's sympathy, I just feel like my damn heart's gonna drop into my stomach right now, and for some reason writing it out kinda helps :/ 


I couldn't help you
Even though I tried
And now that you're gone
I can't dry my eyes

I watched
As you slowly tumbled downhill 
While all I could give you
Were syringes and pills 

How is it one little creature 
Could be so entangled in my heart
That it literally hurts
To know he's so far apart 

I miss you bud
You were my best friend
I still can't believe 
That this is the end
