Intimate Conversation Poem

Dear Marshmellow
I'm sorry you left.
Sorry Skittles ate your head.
I wish you
would come back.

I cried hard
the day you died.
Sitting there
staring
at your cold
dead body.

It was mostly
my fault.
I didn't feed you
enough.

If I was more
responsible
with my pets,
you'd still be
alive.

Please know
that I'm really
really
really
really
sorry.

Please don't
hate me
up there
in rat heaven.

No other rat
could replace you.
I love you Marshmellow.
I really do...

This is Just to Say...

I took
your pen.
I didn't have
anything
to write with.

It was probably
the only
writing utensil
you had.

Using your pen
was like floating
on a cloud.

Forgive me
I really needed
that pen
because now
my paper is done.
