Lonely Without You

In the peaceful corners of a young heart,
Shadows start, where laughter danced.
A loyal guide, my furry friend,
Left without a goodbye,
Leaving tears to hide.

I try to grab memories in the night,
With these tiny hands that held tight,
Your collar as we played outside.
The joyful bark and wagging tail,
A constant reminder of your love.

With pure delight, your eyes sparked,
And never afraid to use your tongue,
To prove a bond so strong;
Now shattered by a loss
Mightier than Thanos!

I hope in my dreams,
I find you old friend.
Running on a shore, wild and free,
Trying to impress,
So as to get the best treat.

Love, is all I had,
Though lost, yours left a mark.
In the night, you are the star above,
Soothing my shattered heart.
This heartache, I pray, finds no other child.
