'Reality'

This unscripted play
Is it truly ending?

You are weak.
You can barely stand.

This can't be the end.
You'll bounce back.

Or will you?

My heart feels heavy.
But I want to go.
Go to that bizzare place that exists only in my mind.
Where you're okay.
You aren't suffering.

But I go back to reality.
I can't just leave you to suffer.
They tell me to say goodbye.
They will take you to the vet.
I still don't believe it's the end.

I come home from work, and my family greets me.
All but you.
I ask if you recovered.
They tell me you died.

I want you back.
I'm still in shock.
What if you had held on a little longer.

I'm not mad at you.
You tried your best to hold on.
For us, your people.
I just want you back.

We meet in dreams.
I feel your soft fur.
I hear that little noise you made when you were hungry.

It's not the same.

I wake up.
Into reality's cold, inpenetrable walls.
