I'll Miss You Dearly

Now you're gone
I tried to save you
The ticking clock was on
But my strength was too few

I tried to pry you from the jaws of death
I thought it would all end up okay
I stayed with you till your final breath
Hopefully to heaven you safely made your way

I'll miss you so much
Words cannot fully tell
Even now I long for your touch
As I remain trapped in this grief cell

So I'll just try and suck it now
Put on a fake smile
Tears for the time I'll try not to allow
Though really I'm crying for you all the while

In memory of Monster the California Kingsnake (Nov. 2000 - Feb. 17 2005)
