Once in a Lifetime: The Gift of Friendship ~ Friday, January 14, 2022

This will never happen again, you see

Happiness in the midst of my sorrow

If I say no excuses for my actions

Still, if I could learn from my mistakes this time

When I say this will never happen, tears

If I could have cloned my cat, I would have

Let moralists worry about ethics

Let me turn back the clock and start over

Nothing lasts forever, everything dies

Everything else survives, continues on

Verdict: Karma is a bitch in this life

Every day, I feel her absence, shadows

Remember, fourteen years for a cat, death

How I was once so lucky, illusions

After she passed, I grieved for all my dead

Perhaps my mother is next, will she croak

Perhaps we'll have to go visit before

Even if I died, I couldn't care less

No, for some reason, I continue on

A moment in time only comes this once

Grace for my stupidity and mistakes

As I will never see my cat again

In this world, sorrow mollifies the pain

Not that it is better to suffer grief

Yesterday, I received a tortoiseshell

Only yesterday was fourteen years back

Ugly verses such as these don't compare

Shadows move in the corners of my eyes

Expectations rarely disappear, mind

Even if I believed, I'd still be sunk
