• Merope,
    I wish I could speak to you now
    And that you could hear me
    But that dream is impossible
    Why did you have to leave us?

    I wish I could read this
    And you would listen
    Merope, my rabbit, my friend
    Your soft white fur
    Your ruby red eyes
    I'll never forget them
    My dear, sweet rabbit.

    If I bathe in plain plain water
    I cannot tell
    All I feel is the tears that I shed for you
    I remember the last time I saw you, and will
    Your half-open eyes, gazing at the sky
    The color drained away
    Dirt showered on your snowy fur
    And you were gone, hiddenfrom sight.

    But though to my eyes you are invisible
    I can feel you in my heart.
