My Perfect Noodle
It feels like a rainy day parade,
An endless,
Horrible nightmare made
Manifest.
An endless,
Horrible nightmare made
Manifest.
My worst dreams of four years,
Made true,
The image of you in my mind seared,
Your reposed hue.

There hasn’t been a second
I haven’t thought about,
Always delighting the times
About you I could tout.

Place and time,
Always on my mind,
We had so any good days,
But now you’re so far away.
Always on my mind,
We had so any good days,
But now you’re so far away.
When you were with me I was high as outer space,
And never once did I think you would slip away,
Maybe there were problems I couldn’t place,
But I guess overall I was a little too late.

My best noodle
I never deserved,
My perfect noodle
Named the perfect fruit.

So much left to do
So much left to say
Four good years,
A lifetime away.

Four good years,

It haunts my dreams,
A nightmare come true,
Why must it come to pass,
Instead of remaining in aether’s view?

Cold press of scale
Each slow inhale,
The feeling around my neck
Hardly a memory’s speck
Each slow inhale,
The feeling around my neck
Hardly a memory’s speck
I won’t forget you, you gave me hope,
Helped ground me when I needed most.
Helped ground me when I needed most.
What now,
Where do I turn?
What do I do?
The mice slowly burn.
Where do I turn?
What do I do?
The mice slowly burn.
Four years.
Four wonderful years
Too short, my soul fears
But those were happy,
With us as peers.

I’m not ready to say goodbye
I am not sure if I’ll ever be,
But I can say that I’ll miss you,
And I love you,
And thank you for being with me.

Sometimes we don't always get the amount of time we are expecting to have with a loved one. We can't control when they leave us, only that they had a great time before they go…
My snake companion, Raspberry, unfortunately passed away on the 13th of April this year. She was fine the previous day, but was gone by the time I got home from work. She was the best little buddy I'd ever had, and the only "pet" that was wholly mine. I'm still in the process of grieving, and I am sad that she's gone, but I wouldn't trade the last four years for anything. I can only hope that if it was somehow something that was my fault, she forgives me and we can snuggle up again some day.
Big thanks to WanderlustDragon who did the art for me. Ironically I was having this made to celebrate our time together, and was meant to be much happier, before I found her that night. Wander, thank you so much for reworking this for me. It has been a constant source of both pain and comfort, and your patience and kindness has been very much appreciated.
