Goodbye

I dragged my feet out of the house.

Outside the sun was shimmering.

Soon a moving truck rolled into our driveway.

I watched it come closer and closer and come to a stop.

Hours were seconds.

The truck swallowed our belongings.

Outside the stars were sparkling

A sad goodbye.

With one last glance,

I shuffled into the empty building.

What once was a cheerful place

of smiles, frowns, and tears,

Now remained neutral.

I slouched on the floor and stared at the bareness

Without noticing Fluffy.

Brushed against my leg,

He climbed into my lap and glued his eyes to mine.

“I have to leave you here, I’m sorry.”

In a sad hug we fell asleep.
