Humilis
A relentless ghost that wouldn't leave
Blanket fur - the color of sunset's eve
Haunted by your tuna and litter box
I've smelt and seen things nobody ought
Recognizable look in your eyes
"Leave me alone" is what it'd imply
I expected to see you everyday
Like the couch we still haven't thrown away
That's why when you died
I couldn't sleep through your cries
I'm sorry for being scared
I should've held your hand
I should've whispered a prayer
I should've done something to make God seem fair
I should've been there
The warmth of one's presence should be handled with care
