I'm almost embarrassed at how hard I cried haha. Oh wow, I like, need some water. Wow. I knew it would make me cry and I am STILL Shocked at how gut wrenching and real this is. You captured the pain and authenticity of being responsible for your beloved pets life. Their comfort and safety and well being, above your own. The horrible mental gymnastics of "when is the time". They stay with us for enough time to change you on a molecular level, but never long enough. Never long enough.
Amazing writing, amazing art, amazing music. thanks for sharing this. I'm assuming you've lost a pet and I'm sorry for that loss. I lost my cat a few years ago, 3 years as of last week. And while I cried a lot leading up to her passing I haven't cried much since. It felt too much. This was a fantastic moment of catharsis. Think I'll go to bed now haha. Have some tea.
(Also! idk if this was intentional but it reminded me of that tumblr poll from a little while ago, the orpheus tumblr poll, "I trust that she is there". If intentional, great reference. If not, go check it out! It's a cool medium of poetry, a tumblr poll haha)

Thank you so much for sharing and commenting, and I'm very sorry to hear about your cat too. Sending you lots of love <3
(I looked up and saw the poll!! It's definitely a really cool way to present the story too, never thought I'd see a poll used as a medium for poetry, but it was excellent! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!)
