My bunny died yesterday. Life is hard, so I wrote this little freestyle poem about him. His name was Eddie, and I can attach pictures later if anyone wants.
How could God take you away from me when I needed you the most?
Please come back.
I wish I could say a final goodbye. I didn't have time. One moment you were here, the next, gone. My darling. I think of you often. You could make me laugh on my darkest days, make me smile when I thought I would be crushed under the weight of life. I thought you would be here forever. Why did you leave me? My heart is starting to heal, a little bit. It feels wrong to smile. You should be there to make me smile.
Your tiny, fluffy feet sprawled out behind you when you took a nap.
Your little, soft nose going up, down, up, down after you do a binkie jump and run like you got electrocuted.
What about the time you got to come to the beach? You had your own spot under the bunk beds in the RV.
We got you a harness and leash. You hated it but you looked so, so cute.
You got to have two different homes too. Two loving families, two amazing friends. You were a class pet once, meeting so many young children and teaching them how to love and also how to pet you.
Sometimes you could be a brat. You went through 5 Alexa cords, 2 computer chargers, and 3 lamps. Chewed the baseboards and the carpet, 2 bedspreads and sheets.
But we always forgave you. You had a way of creeping up and laying down, asking for cuddles and kisses with those big, dark brown eyes. Your tickly, soft whiskers would hit my cheeks when I would gently kiss the top of your head.
You were always excited for food and attention. We made you a Halloween costume (a Dust Bunny). You got pre-made salads when we went on road trips.
How could we have known you were so sick? It isn’t fair.
Seeing you leave this world, leave me... that much grief, that much pain in the one instant I realized...you are gone. You won’t be coming back. The only thing I can hope for is that you will be there to greet me and take me home, take me to Heaven, and receive me with laughter and joy. All I want is you back. Why can’t you come back for me?

Thank you for sharing your beautiful words. Sounds like your baby had a wonderful life with you. Sending love to you
