Final Days

These final days.
With you perched on the cool granite.
The water left running.
Every step closer to your door
You sit straight
Eyes brighten.
Just the prescence of someone near.
It's hard watching you fade away.
The feel of your bones beneth my hand.
I look at you and suddenly I'm eight again.
Ocean blue orbs staring back at me.
It was then at that moment I begged.
I begged to take you home.
Since then I've never been alone.
We've grown together
You and me.
We make a great team.
I've seen you grow into beauty.
I've watched you age.
Your eyes now green as grass.
Small golden specks in them.
Happy as can be.
Then you started losing weight.
We didn't know you were sick.
But then the vet called.
Honey your kidneys are failing.
I look at you and cry.
My best friend was dying.
You just looked at me and nuzzled into me.
Did you know?
Did you know you were slowly fading away.
Away from me.
I'm broken at the thought you leaving.
Who else can look at me and know what's wrong?
Who else will be at the door waiting for me?
I'm being selfish.
I know.
But honey losing you is like losing myself.
Your so brave.
I envy that about you though.
You don't fear the needle.
That I stick in your skin.
Your stronger then me.
How can the world be so cruel?
I need you!
But right now you need me more.
