mydiamond Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 ... since I brought True Blue home. Well, a month plus a few days, but you get the picture. It's a bit funny to think how I could get attached so much to a little fish in such a short time. But he's still one of my beloved pets, now swimming free somewhere in another world. Hopefully he gets a lot of live blood worms there, because there's never enough to satisfy that tiny belly. Anyways, I just thought that maybe this is a good time to tone down on the grieving a bit. I mean, I gotta stop crying at some point. I dealt with this loss by trying to not even think about it, but like I said, at some point I gotta stop. Stop covering my eyes, stop covering my ears, stop pretending that nothing happened. Today would probably make a good 'some point' (long, long explanation). Let's knock down that first wall by sharing this tribute poem I made, shall we? I know I always dump my poems over here, but I don't have a lot of choices, so... yeah. Under the chill of Michigan snow Lays a piece of authentic joy With fins that once fluttered and swirled With eyes once so amber they burn Always been too good to be true A true blue fantasy Under the whiteness of Michigan snow Lays a figment of the loveliest dreams Utopia was his land of origin Painted in blue in honor of you As pieces of hope cracks and shatters He fought through one after another Fighter, joybringer, seasoned dancer Long has he dwelled in the mind of this dreamer Always been too good to be true One true blue fantasy Now sleeping under a blanket of Michigan snow Frozen still on Earth and the heart of this dreamer Soul now swimming free in the sea of time Body laid here so the memory stays mine Somewhere in an ocean in Utopia His fins spread and flutter and swirl His eyes so amber they burn Fighter, joybringer, seasoned dancer Long will he dwell in the mind of this dreamer Indeed too good to be true My true blue fantasy --R.I.P dearest True Blue Fantasy, my first ever Betta splendens. This heart you left is as freezing as the snow you’re buried under. Within the twenty-five short days we’ve spent together, you’ve taught me so much about the world of aquarists. I wish we could spend more time in the same world, but I guess you’re just meant to be in a better place. I did brought you home because I missed my blue-eyed dog, but in the end I love you for who you are. Missing you now, forever and always. Yours truly, Liv. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Made a Black Friday impulsive purchase to honor the little guy. It came yesterday, but have only managed to open it today. Still aching for his passing wish I could just have him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
