You sat on my shoulder
You sat on my lap
You curled up beside me
For your well-deserved nap

You cried when I left you
But you greeted me when I came back
Love and devotion for me
Are things you did not lack

My cat is now dead
And the world, it really does suck
I think I'm going insane
But, oh no--no such luck

I get to feel the agony
All of the grief and the pain
Not even one second of comfort for me
Right now or ever again

Yes, I'm being selfish
I know this, but I don't care
My little baby is gone
And I'm filled with despair

The other cats are okay
But they are not "The Sparky"
For you there was just one
And that one was me

"Time heals all wounds"
Is an adage that just isn't true
Because each day that goes by
Is just one more day without you

I wanted to write happy things for you
Something light and carefree
The depression flows through my blood, though
So, sadly, that can not be

A toast to you, my dear Sparky
To all the good times we had
May you rest in peace, my love
And may you find your eternal heaty pad.
