My Little Girls

I see my pretty girls
Wandering aimlessly around
Cinnamon and Mary Lou
The pain; the misery

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Raising them from a few weeks old
I became so attached
They were my little ones
There will be no others

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Cinnamon was so protective
Mary Lou the mother
Lindsey a great friend
Now only a memory

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Lindsey's life force taken
Mary Lou's respiratory arrest
Cinnamon's old age
A stroke killing two; one not letting go

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

My babies now gone
My world; shattered; one million pieces
I am left broken
When will they be back

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

I truly love my babies
I would do anything for them
Why did they have to go
They were so special; I need my little ones with me again

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Their blood runs through my veins forever
The silent pain of their death so great
I have only two death shroud pieces of paper left; half an inch by five centimeters big
I have felt truly once before

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Charlie's death left me as shattered; broken; pained
I have never let them out my feelings
The time is now
I need my Lindsey, Cinnamon, Mary Lou

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

Without them; I am completely lost
Killing me each time I look at anything else
I am left without answers
I am left without hope; without feeling; without care

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

I know I will see them again in some deranged after life
I need them now; I can't wait
I don't care about anything like I cared about them; I never will
They were my babies; their blood will run through me for all eternity

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

I guess I need to let them go; say good bye
So now I release thee from my shattered dreams; my shattered emotion; my shattered life, and I say today
I'll see you later Lindsey, I'll see you later Mary Lou; good-bye Cinnamon
Never do I say good-bye; never; it's now time to let go; so I put aside everything I feel; go on my little girls; I'll see you later

Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

This being my ending statement
I have let you go; the hardest thing I have ever done
Go unto the after life
Just please; remember the good times we had; the fun; don't remember me as the one whom smacked you for drawing blood in a bite Remember me as the one whom nurtured, fed, raised, and loved you with everything I had; in less than a heart beat, I would have given anything and everything for you; including my own life and freedom, though few understand
Blood within
Blood without
I will be there
Even if it kills me

In loving memory of Cinnamon, Lindsey, and Mary Lou, December 1999 to January 2003. Each was about 5 years of age at death. Lindsey's life force was taken, Mary Lou suffered a stroke then later died of respiratory arrest, and Cinnamon too suffered a stroke, then later died of old age. Lindsey was a bright, red eyed, highly intelligent albino female, Mary Lou was a soft white bellied, black eyed and backed female, and Cinnamon was an all cinnamon brown with black eyes. May each rest in peace, as some of us will forever carry Cinnamon's scars on their fingers because they tried to pet one of the girls through the bars of the cage, and Cocoa and Scabbers' scar on their arm because of inexperience in holding and dealing with a rat. Those two were they're first two friends
