Mooch
Why today?
Why now?
Why do you
have to go?
You've been my friend
Until the end
never wanting to leave my side
But now it's my turn to say goodbye
If I could do anything
I would
If I could help you live
I would
But death is something no man can cure
How can I lose you now
for good
How can I look away
for good
You've been with me since I was born
But now....
I haven't more tears
can I have more years
I'm not ready for this
What did I miss
You've been my friend....
Written on August 28th. Around 3:00 PM. Mooch, my cat and companion, passed away while I was still writing this. I stopped writing to go see him one last time, and watched him try to fight death as he flung his paws around quickly, then slower, then slower, until he was still. After lowering him into his grave, I could not finish the song, and never will. It is incomplete, but it is the last tribute to Mooch while he was still alive. Rest in peace, my friend.
