My Katrina

9

It’s almost been a full month without you,
My Katrina, my heart aches, and I feel so strange.
Each day feels longer, each moment untrue,
I’ve been struggling without you; nothing feels the same.

You were the light of my day, my joy, my delight,
With your playful spirit and gentle purr.
Now the world feels darker, a constant night,
A space in my heart that no one can stir.

Without you, I’m nothing, just a shadow of me,
Wandering through memories, lost in the past.
I search for your warmth in everything I see,
Wishing for comfort, but the emptiness lasts.

I miss the soft sound of your little paws,
The way you’d curl up right next to my side.
In your absence, I’ve found only the flaws,
Of a life without you, a joy that has died.

But I hold on to memories, the love that we shared,
The silly moments, the laughter, the play.
Though it hurts to remember, I know that you cared,
And in my heart, sweet Katrina, you’ll always stay.
