I know

That all my poems seem to be about is my cat.

I know

You probably think I'm being dramatic

And that I shouldn't still be so sad.

I know

The sad poems about dead pets

Are getting old.

But it seems like that's all that inspires me.

My sadness from a missing kitty wells up inside me until it forces out a well of words.

My words are my coping mechanism for this tiny death of a tiny kitty.

Because I'm not strong.

And I still miss my kitty like hell.

And I won't apologize for it.
