This prompt came timely. On Wednesday I had to let my cat go due to his rapidly declining health. Tom was sixteen years old and spent more than twelve of these with me. Now he is gone and it feels sad and unreal at the same time to me.
Day two without him. I wrote and recorded this very quickly after band rehearsal, being hoarse and tired, so this is below my usual quality standards.
Lyrics
I come home
no one waits for me
an empty corridor
is all that I will see
for ever more
an empty bed
no one awakes me at six
by licking over my face
How I miss you
did not get used to it yet
how can I sleep in
this empty bed
tried to tell myself
you were only a cat
But you were my friend
and now you’re already dead
I go out
no cat food any more
no grass to pick for you
no meat to buy
at the grocery store
no soft noise
when I’m alone in my room
no more concerns
How I miss you
did not get used to it yet
how can I sleep in
this empty bed
“So long my old boy”
was all that I said
guess you didn’t hear me
you were already dead
