I'm Sorry

That life within you
Made your eyes shine so bright
And you were so curious
About everything
About this life
You barely got to live
So playful
Even neglecting
Important things
Like eating
Just to spend more time
Playing with my legs
That you took such interest in
And every other thing that
Moved
You moved my heart
Every time you stopped
To stare at me
And you would climb up on me
Just to love on me
Thank you for that
Because I did need it
As little as you were
And for what short time you were here
You made a huge difference
You are special
Little curious one
You were so eager
And excited
So loving
And so welcoming
To everyone who came into your life
So friendly
So carefree
So naive
And innocent
You needed protection
You needed guidance
You had been left alone
Too young
To fend for yourself
But maybe I couldn't help you
Because I needed guidance too
I reached out for help
To help you
And I'm sorry
For not being there
For not stopping it
I'm not sure that I could've
Things happen so quickly
Sometimes
Death can take place in an instant
And it's scary
I guess we dont realize
How fragile things are
Until they're broken
But I am learning
With a broken heart
