The nights are whats hardest
Part of the bed is empty
Your pillows gone
Your blanket off to be washed
And my heart breaks missing you
Especially in the middle of the night
When I would reach out to give you a little scratch
You would trill to me
Sleepily slant your eyes at me
And start purring
Or
You might stretch out one paw
As if to say to me
"Awwww, hi mom, pet me"
You sat on the corner of the bed
When I came home
Sqawking at me "where have you been all day"
We then had our greeting
Me laying on the bed
and you would walk around looking to be petted
Being scooped up and put on my belly
To have your face and shoulders scratched
That was your favorite place to be scratch
Well, you all loved your ruff under your chin scratched too.
I loved it when you would crawl under the covers with me
Though damn sometimes it took a long time for you to make up your mind!
You loved to get picked up and put on my ample breasts
Stretch out to have your tummy rubbed
Petted down your long grey tabby body
There we would sit watching TV
You knew me so well
When to let me sleep on Saturday mornings
You just love being with me
Hanging out with me on the bed
My whole apartment is empty without you
Wandering around
Curling around my legs for attention
Sitting in windows talking to the birds
It is at night
Your warm furry purring form
Keeping me company
That I so deeply miss you
I reach out to where you slept
You are not there
