poem "I'm so sorry"

A little background. I have to leave my fur baby behind in order to save my life. I can't take him with me. I am devastated. I know this isn't any good but I was crying too hard. I don't know why people say the best poems come from strong emotions. I mean I'm literally crying and yet nothing worth reading but it goes. I also tried to not edit the format too much because I wanted the disjointed news that happened from crying so much to remain there as a way to further communicate the mood

My precious furry friend; my very best
friend. Twelve years of you saving my tormented soul.
You never left my side; I can't imagine leaving you behind
I can't bring you with me. I am so so sorry
What if I never get to see you again? What the next lick on my cheek is the very last one?
no amount of tears can
change the unknown and uncertain
No amount of words can express how much you mean to me
It will be all my fault. I'm so sorry
Please understand.
I'm so sorry

I am sorry you are having to go through this. It isn't your fault for leaving him behind. Your safety is important. I know this won't be an easy thing to have to do. Please know I am here if you need anything. I would be happy to support you through this. :)

Also, I didn't think this was terrible. I think it expressed your feelings quite well. Expressing my emotions is one of the reasons I like writing poetry; I hope that it helped you to write this. :hug:

<3 I'm sorry, I know how tough this is but I am so proud you are doing what's best for you. I think in some sense your cat will "know" or "understand." Animals are pretty smart.

This also wasn't terrible at all!
