My Lil Story Of Life And Depression: Poems Of The Lost And Wounded

In Honor Of You, My Dearest Cat: Mimo, Forever Loved

A tear of regret
Swells up in my eye
I can hear screams...
From me, my life.

Not long ago we had met
As a dear baby, you were
Joy to me, you brought
And life was happy, no distraught

I saw you grow
In body and heart
Filling me with happiness and joy
When I saw you play with your toys.

To love you, not long it took
As you comforted me, even at the darkest of nights.

We slept together, bodies warm
I dreamt we played
In the sky, we soared
The world's troubles
So small below.

So Soft, so alive.
Yes, you were.
Comfy did I feel, when I head you purr.

Throughout our days, as time passed
We played together, so sorry lad.

Was I, too busy to see
Realize how much time I spent with thee.
Now I realize all regrets
Not enough time you see, yet.

I want to go back
To the day you were born
And rewatch you grow
Relive our lives
To every day, no more cries

Memories of your tail of feathers.
Soft and sweet, you crawled at my feet.
Clawing your way to me
Scratching in loving simpathy.

Your green forest vision
To all you saw, you envisioned.
As a toy, one of fun.
Remind you of the lights?, you run.

To chase the mouse, you did.
But all you wanted was play
Eh kid?

Still remember you endless lazyness.
No matter what bothered
You ignored.
Not even water,
Could move you from place.
You were so elegant, full of grace.

Oh I hear, it was funny.
When we named you, you dummy.
It was, Fatmagül.
Your original name
Still my mother wouldn't let me name you, game.

Oh I remember, once your fights
With your beloved brother whom now cries.
Full of solitude, yes, he is.
A dog without a cat, forever lost.

Do you see, all those days when you fought?
Hilarious moments, you ran, he barked.
Yet none agitated each other.
Hence you're my children, family, brothers.

He now forever waits.
At the doorstep of his mind.
Wondering where you left
And yet nothing he finds.
To fill himself and be
How he once was, before.

I say, I miss you little lad.
You brought comfort to our lives
Memories of joy, none bad
Is what you brought, little lad

Now we suffer, in memories and pain.
To see that you're gone, beyond reach.

Its not a road where we could find
A cure for our troubled minds.

There's so much pain in this world,
A countermeasure you were.

Yet your life was taken
Leaving us...
Crying, breaking.

I long and mourn
The times I missed
To be with you
Oh dear sis.

Now I write in honor of thee.
Whom used to bring joy to our lives.
I hope to see you again
And pat your ever so softly back.

I wrote in honor of thee.
My dear cat Mimo.
I love You.
