Late at night, a bad vibe struck,

Worse things expected with fools' laughter.

Brushed it off, thought it couldn't be real,

Woke up summoned, faced a heavy ordeal.

There you were, on the street,

Couldn't believe it, denied  in vain.

Gone forever, a genuine loss,

Small in size, part of our family gloss.

Funny red eyes, a sight now ceased,

Won't see them again, a joy released.

Wishing I'd spent more time with you,

Intelligent and ignored, a truth undue.

Cried when you left, genuine pain,

Didn't cherish you when you were still there.

Left with the opposite you, a repeating theme,

Not meant for your kind, it would seem.

No responsibilities, no true care,

Alone, expressing, wondering in despair.

Maybe someday I'll seek redemption,

Till then, I'm here, a solo reflection.
