My Pity is Lost
My Pity is Lost
My home feels that much older.
My hands no longer reach out to give a loving pat.
I realized I no longer had company when I sat.
She made me better when I felt blue.
She loved to play Peek-a-boo.
Coming down the stairs, you knew she was there,
Hiding on that chair, as she'd jump out and grab your hand "Oh pity, you gave me quite a scare!"
She's gotten out twice before,
if it was open, she'd head for the door.
Once out there she was a meek scared baby,
waiting being trash cans crying "save me save me!"
It has now been two full days so I know you're gone.
Too long, so I know somethings wrong.
I have a feeling someone thought you were a stray,
they didn't know you had a home to stay.
Because the other alternative I don't want to think.
That my pity, makes my heart sink.
Perhaps you'll be returned, but that I doubt,
I can feel it in my heart, its you I'll be without.
The vet told me years ago of the danger of a collar,
Kittens strangling themselves was the bother.
So no one knew you had a home.
I hope that's it, because otherwise, with all the wildlife here, it can only means certain doom.

What attracts many women to jerks is the swagger, cockiness, edge or cool that jerks usually display and the charge the women get from being with such men.
