I can't move on

My heart aches, my eyes are wet
My soul feels empty, I can't forget
The day my dog, my loyal friend
Took her last breath, life came to an end

She got old and sick, her body weak
But her spirit was strong, she wouldn't retreat
She stayed by my side, through thick and thin
Never judging, always wearing a grin

She saved me from myself, my darkest days
With her wagging tail, she showed me the way
She was my anchor, in a sea of doubt
Without her, lost, I am left to flout

I couldn't save her, no matter how hard I tried
As she lay in my arms, I screamed and cried
Her blood trickling from her nose so small
My heart shattered, I felt so small

She was a small dog, with white paws and tan fur
But to me, she was everything, my guiding star
She may have been small, but her love was big
I miss her so much, my heart, it digs

Who am I without you, my dear dog
My loyal companion, through fire and fog
My days seem longer, and nights even more
Without your pawprints, creaking on my floor

But I know you're in a better place
Free from pain, in eternal grace
I'll never forget you, my dear furry friend
Until we meet again, my heart will mend

You were more than just a pet, you were family
And losing you feels like losing a piece of me
But I'll hold on to the memories we've shared
And know that in my heart, you'll always be there.
