well, i guess i should tell you the background to this piece,
i had a pet fox called sky, well she wasnt reallly a pet as she was wild, and had the choice to go anywhere she wanted, she chose to live with me. one night i heard noises from outside, and when i decided to check it out, it was sky getting attacked by a rabid dog, she ran off by the time i got outside, but there was a trail of blood that leaded in one partiular direction, i followed it into the woods, then it got really dark and i could no longer see, so i carried on searching the woods for hours, i found nothing. the enxt day i searched again and decided to pick up form where i left off, wehen i got to that point, i found her. she was metres away from where i stopped the night before, and somehow i didnt see her. i could of saved her but i failed and for that i will always blame myself. i cant draw so i cant make a fursona of her, untill i get better, which will not be for a long time, i guess this will have to do... a good friend of mine provided the background btw, he is very talented and i owe him one xD

thank you, thats really sweet of you to say *snuggles*
there is always more i can do, its how i think, and it's whats got me out of some tough times, when i get emotionaly into something, it gives me a purpose. it's what has made me devote my life to helping others, so when i have failed someone like sky, i can but feel i have failed my purpose. thats all. thank you for your concern though, it means alot. *kisses nose* :)

Aw, poor thing! *hugs tightly*
Very moving poem, but I was especially touched by the description of Sky and what happened. Tragedy can strike when we least expect it, and as you said in your poem, destiny is fate. As I see it, there are times in our lives where things happen to something or someone we care about but there is nothing we can do. We feel helpless, and torn between doing the right thing and trying our damnedest to save them, or hiding in the shadows and blaming ourselves for just standing there and doing nothing. What you did was the right thing Okamii, don't ever forget that. You did the best you could, and I'm sure that Sky would not blame you for what happened. Just remember that even though one life was ended that night, Sky will always live on in your heart and in your memories. Your fox is in a better place now. Please know that I am truly sorry for your loss my friend, I offer my deepest sympathies. *pauses for a moment of silence in memory of Sky*
Losing a pet of any kind can be tough, I know, but over time, wounds heal, sadness fades, and a light shines through the Darkness. Do NOT blame yourself, for you did nothing wrong.
Your friend,

thank you, i'm glad you liked the poem, and i, i guess your right, i could do no more, i couldn't save her, but how i wish i could *sniff*
everynight i get the same nightmare about her, and it wont go away, it wont rest, and untill then i cant rest, i cant take it, iv'e lost too many people, seen to many fall, and i want it to stop. but just as one thing passes over, another tragedy happens. i'm very shy and so since my soulmate died i felt i could not confide in anyone else, i've kept it bottled up for years, and since i have been introduced to the furry community, i have hed the courage to tell people, to get things off my chest, because i now know there are people like you, who care, thank you for everything, skywolf *snuggles*
your words mean alot :)

*murrs softly in your ear to comfort you*
It is always gratifying to help a fellow fur in need. I myself have traveled the road of Depression, and hated myself for things of which I cannot speak, so I know, quite intimately, just how painful one's life can become. *puts an arm around your shoulder* We furs have to stick together, y'know. If you ever need a shoulder to howl against, or somefur to talk to, I'm only a mouse-click away. Just keep telling yourself that no matter what, Sky is in a better place now. The time has come my furiend. Let her go. Whenever you find that your blaming yourself, think back on all the fond memories you had with Sky, and do not think that you failed her. Instead, tell yourself that, in a way, you did save her, as her soul lives on in you.
Sorry to hear about Kyle, *whines softly, pawing at you gently* If you ever want to talk, I'll always be here for you. I care about you, y'know, and I hate seeing anyfur in physical or emotional pain. *hugs you close, while rubbing your back*
It'll be ok Okamii, you have my word.

i, i wish i could let her go,and what you say makes perfect sense to me, you don't know how much you've done for me, and i want you to know if you ever want to talk about this "road to derpression", i'm always here, i owe you one, i found that confiding in you made me feel alot better, and so if you need me i'm here for you, no matter what *hugs*
maybe one day i will be able to let go of sky, but kyle will never escape my mind, along with a few others who i have seen pass. but once again, thank you, you've been a great friend to me and i wish i had someone like you in my real life, but the way things are going i would bet on that happening.
*holds you close* thank you again, i am in your debt :)

I'm not really sure how to express my emotions for, not just for the poem, but for the story that inspired it. So very sorry for what had happened that night but you DID try your best to find her, THAT'S the main thing, so there is no possible way you could hold yourself accountable. Just know that you DO have friends here who sympathize with your loss, as I can clearly see And i'm sure will help you in any way they can
And to think I only came here for the pr0n a couple of years ago when I joined But i've been able to speak to so many amazing people, and found so much other stuff this site has to offer, I don't really giva a damn about the dirty stuff anymore I'm so glad that someone like you has come to join FA. A HUGE welcome from me (even though you've been on for nearly a month now)
