This is a poem I wrote. Its about a dog with cancer. Its sad so it may make you cry. Cause it made my parents and friend cry
Motionless
You lay here, motionless.
I hear only the sound of your shallow breathing,
As your body is fighting for your right to live.
The right for no more pain,
The right for no more suffering.
Why are you still motionless?
I stand here thinking of your desperate battle, one you may not get your right to live.
I know your holding on, my friend.
I know you’re holding on for me.
I know you don’t want to leave me,
I know you don’t want to lose the touch.
The touch where we become one, and feel each other’s pain,
Each other’s happiness,
Each other’s love.
Why are you still motionless?
My tears fall gently, making no sound.
One hits your nose,
But you don’t move.
You don’t flinch,
You don’t open your eyes.
Why are you sill motionless?
I place my hand ever so gently on your head.
I slide it down to your amazing soft ears.
The ears where you hear me call your name,
The ears where you hear the cars,
The ears where you hear the love in my voice.
The ears that may never hear again.
But… why are you still motionless?
I run my hand down your back.
Your fur is sleek, but rough.
Your fur…
The fur that keeps you warm,
The fur that got BBQ sauce in it,
The fur that rubs against my legs at night.
I may never feel it again.
Please stop being so motionless…
I continue my hand to your tail.
Your tail shows how happy you were.
The tail that wagged non-stop,
The tail that got caught in the door once,
The tail that wagged so hard your bum wagged.
Why isn’t it wagging?
Oh.. Because you’re motionless…
My tears are falling more frequently.
I now hear your shallow breathing and my sobs.
The sobs of sorrow,
The sobs of despair,
The sobs of depression.
Please.. Stop being so motionless!
I bent over you, trying to get closer.
Trying to feel your touch again,
Trying to feel your pain,
Trying to feel the love I know that’s still there.
But you’re motionless.
I hear the sound of the heart monitor get slower.
I know you won’t be able to hold on with me, my dear one.
I know you don’t want the pain anymore,
I know you want peace.
You want to live in Heaven,
A Heaven with bones,
A Heaven with poodles,
A Heaven with no more pain.
That’s why you’re motionless.
I love you, my dear friend
My friend of great times,
My friend of bad times,
My friend of every time.
I don’t want you to leave me behind with no one,
I don’t want you to be in pain,
I don’t want you to have to fight for the right to have a healthy body.
Your still oh so motionless.
I decided I will let you go.
I will let you go to the skies.
I will try to be strong,
I will try to be brave.
I won’t.
I will remember you, my dear friend.
I’ll remember your touch,
Your happiness,
Your pain,
Your love.
Please, do something to not be so motionless.
I softy kiss your nose.
The nose you smelled with,
The nose your sniffed butts with,
The nose you sniffed food with.
You’re still motionless.
I lay sobbing.
Sobbing for you to just do one thing to not be so motionless.
Sobbing because the heart monitor is almost dead.
Sobbing because I love you.
Motionless…
I then felt the most amazing thing.
I felt you.
I felt you lick my cheek.
I felt all your compassion and love in that lick.
I also felt your pain.
I looked at you.
Your eyes were open a little.
Your eyes were dull,
Your eyes were in pain,
Your eyes were in love.
You whined ever so quietly.
I was the only one to hear it.
The whine that only I could understand.
The whine that said: ‘I love you.’
You’re not motionless!
The tip of your tail starts to wag with the happiness you’ve always showed.
Your tail tried to wag.
It tried to wiggle your bum.
But it hit the ground
It hit the ground hard.
You tried to be happy for me.
You tried very hard.
But your unsuccessful.
Just unsuccessful.
Your motionless again.
Your heart monitor stopped.
I froze.
I was frozen.
Frozen in spot.
My friend had finally finished the battle.
The battle of life.
He’d won it.
He won the right to not be in pain.
The right to be happy again.
Now you forever will be motionless.
I love you, my friend.
I will never let go,
Because that one last lick.
That one last lick of compassion,
Of love,
Of pain.
That one last lick.
Saved my life.
