Echoes of a Bond: A Promise to Remember

The weight of this cruel world bears down on our hearts,
The pain in my mind runs deep, tearing me apart.
I wonder how much more of this I can take.
My heart remains empty, days blend into one,
It seemed so simple, not to succumb to despair through a screen.
Months have passed without a word, yet...
I've envisioned this conversation countless times, my dear friend.
Now, please, lend me your ear.
Step back from the love of animals, just for a while,
Let my soul find some respite, some peace in this trial.
These feelings, though not dreams, still hinder my sleep.
I trust you'll understand and won't cross that line so deep.
I once drowned in this city, but now I'm in another,
People flowed in and out of my life, yet I sought no other.
Pain surrounds me wherever I turn my gaze,
I had to endure it all, through the darkest of days.
Time may erase memories, but feelings stay real,
Promise me this solemn vow, your word to seal:
When my life's journey ends, no need for a tear,
Please, don't come to my funeral; let me disappear. When my life's journey ends, no need for a tear,
Instead, remember the laughter, the moments we shared, my dear.
Let me fade away like a whisper on the wind,
In the echoes of our memories, our bond will mend.
Our hearts connected in this world so cruel and wide,
Even in silence, I'll be right there by your side.
