Final version! All my thanks goes to Just a Mona Lisa! 
I will not weep!
It's just a cat! I will not weep!
I cant complain, that would be cheap
for I have most one could desire,
so many friends that I admire.
Dolour denied - it starts to seep
through all my guards. I try to keep
my daughter close to me and sweep
all feelings off, ignore my ire.
It's just a cat!
But in my dreams four black paws leap
into my lap and love so deep
is given still. My hearts on fire
till I awake and then the dire
lowdown averts a restless sleep.
It's just a cat!.

till I awake and then the dire
lowdown averts a restless sleep.
It's dead, my cat!

Forgive me if I bother you with an impossible use of words, but these fixed forms urge me to use especially verbs in a way I would never dare to do so normally.
I didnt know which word would be the best for the German nur - just, only, but? (But sounds strange in my ears.) Which one gives you a devaluing impression?
I will not weep!
Just the cat is dead! I will not weep!

Dolour denied - it starts to seep.
I tend my home and I will keep
my daughter close to me and sweep
all feelings off, will them retire.
Just the cat is dead.
But in my dreams four black paws leap
into my lap and love so deep
is given still, my heart beats higher
till I awake and then I tire
droning myself to restless sleep.
Just the cat is dead.

""For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly." ~Don Juan
