I hold him in my hands
He is cold and still
No longer the lively hamster
That he once was
He is still furry,
But he no longer moves at all
I knew that he was sick
But I can’t acknowledge
The fact that he is gone
When I got him,
Two years ago, it seemed
Like he would
Never go away
Wait! Now I saw his leg twitch!
Maybe he is still alive!
But no, now he is still again
Never to move again
The tears come fast
Pouring down my face
They fall onto his little body
And my hand shakes as
I brush the watery droplets
Off of his little body
He was my favorite pet
Now he lies in my hands
Dying or already dead
I don’t know if he’s gone yet
But I do know
That he’s never coming back
He is cold and still
No longer the lively hamster
That he once was
He is still furry,
But he no longer moves at all
I knew that he was sick
But I can’t acknowledge
The fact that he is gone
When I got him,
Two years ago, it seemed
Like he would
Never go away
Wait! Now I saw his leg twitch!
Maybe he is still alive!
But no, now he is still again
Never to move again
The tears come fast
Pouring down my face
They fall onto his little body
And my hand shakes as
I brush the watery droplets
Off of his little body
He was my favorite pet
Now he lies in my hands
Dying or already dead
I don’t know if he’s gone yet
But I do know
That he’s never coming back
