Heartache

And then there were none.

The five souls that I brought into my life are all gone. They are reduced to ashes on a mantle. One by one they left me to pass through the veil into their new incarnation.

My heart aches.

My heart aches for them. No more warm snuggles goofy grins or not so subtle begging for a bite. No more barks or meows. No more lapfulls of fur.

The eyes that looked at me with love are no more. I love them just as much as the first day I held them. I miss them even more.

My heart aches because it is too full.

My heartache is my empty arms.
