The cat I have had for 12 years died today
I picked up her lifeless, ridged body
And placed it in a garbage bag
The same way I throw away scraps
That I no longer want
But I do want her
I want her back so badly
Why did I take her out like trash
Why could I not feel anything
Why could I not cry
Am I in shock
Denial
I'm such a monster

Why did I take her out like trash
Why could I not feel anything
Why could I not cry
Am I in shock
Denial
