My Elegy Called "Oh Goldfish"

“Oh Goldfish” by Alessio Sarraf (2010)

Oh goldfish how do you leave me swimming in empty tank, or how could you leave me hanging. The day I bought you at Pets Mart was one of the greatest days of my life. You were a very special fish, not just a regular silver or bronze fish, but you were a gold fish. The day you died was very hard and sad for me. Oh I remember the days where I would come and watch you swim in your purple tank, and how I cleaned out your tank every week with pride and happiness. Oh goldfish, I could never replace you with any other fish. You brought me joy and happiness every day. I remember how we used to watch Lakers games together, you swimming in your tank and I laying on the couch. I loved spending time with you each day, I wish I could just watch swim in your tank right now, but that is not an option. Goldfish, you were truly my best friend, and I was deeply saddened by your death, but you will always be in my heart, and I will always remember. You will be deeply missed through out the rest of my life.
