This poem is about Smudge experience after Rusty left. It goes through all the stages of greif.
You left me alone,
The day you left,
You said, "I have to,"
You didn't,
You could have stayed,
You said, "They will change us,"
I said, "Is that bad?"
You left me alone,
You were replaced,
There is someone else now,
She is very pretty,
She is better than you,
I don't think I like you anymore,
You left me alone,
You could come back,
I wouldn't be mad or sad,
If you came back,
We could back to normal,
She likes you,
The idea of you,
If you come back,
I would be happy,
You left me alone,
I am not worth anything,
That must be why you left,
I wasn't enough,
You wanted more,
You wanted a new life,
With new friends,
You mentioned new people before you left,
Were they prettier?
Were they better?
Than,
Me,
You left me alone,
You left a long time ago now,
I remember you still,
You had red hair,
And wore blue,
But that was you before,
I saw you again,
You seemed happy,
You told me about your friends,
About your new family,
You smiled,
You were not wearing blue,
I told you about her,
You smiled,
I told you about everything,
You smiled,
You did not smile like that,
Before,
You left me alone,
I am happy for you,
I am happy for me,
I am happy.
