Ginger

I knew the day would come where I would have to let you go, to be in a better place. I just didn't expect to have to let you go so soon and suddenly. You weren't just a guinea pig, and I know that to some people it's weird and stupid, or whatever other thoughts run through their minds, but I don't see it that way. When I was all alone and everyone left me and forgot about me, you sat with me all day, and never left my side. You made me feel happy when it seemed like all I could be was sad. You had no expectations except lettuce. You loved and trusted me with only the purest kind there is. I rescued you and in a way you rescued me too. I remember the day I brought you home, April 30th 2010. I don't know how I would have gotten through all those months after my surgery and rehab without your little face to greet me and comfort me everyday. I love all of my guinea pigs so much I can't explain it, but me and you always had a special bond that I've never had with any animal and I don't think I ever will again. I miss you every day and every night. You will always be a thought in the back of my mind. I will love you forever and ever, never forgoten and always missed. You have a friend up there, wherever you may be, keep Amber company and get along. My baby Ginger piggie, may your wonderfull sweet little soul rest in peace♥

Drown

walking out the door
hoping you had more
all you have inside
is a fire behing your eyes
burns both day and night
screams and shouts
that flame will never burn out
pounding from within
out of the  head
never wanted to let you in
speak thoughts out loud
hear whispers with no sound
let the rain fall
don't let me down
save me as I drown
memories rush into your mind
yeah they get me all the time
did you hear me when I said it out loud
can you see me when I don't make a sound
would you ever let me drown
please don't let me drown
