I had to finally understand
you didn't see me as beautiful anymore, that you weren't in-love with me ,
it was always in the plan,
really never in-love
but man,
  was I ever in-love with you,

Just the idea of me,
and my family,
so intriguing you say,
you love me that's true,
& sometimes even,
in a better way,
than with anyone else,
but I was just convenient,
the very next thing ,
your Muse,
just a toy,
for you to abuse,
to leave and to use,
but hey guy I choose,
to walk away,
cuz it hurts way too much for me to try and stay now,
you showed me love,
I folded my hands to pray,
& with nothing here left to say,

It seems I just cannot play,
these stupid games
it's such a crying shame,
to walk away from

E V E R Y T H I N G

**** you poet.

It's cold out there tonight make sure your pets and people are inside,
If you have extra room in your house there is no reason for homelessness,
if you can't take them in,
if you could offer a meal or some help,
a ride to somewhere,

Some words advice or places to get help,
nothing is too small when it comes to true kindness.
I was once homeless,
I was given a penny by a sweet young boy,
he so desperately wanted to help,
and I,

At that moment,
I was rich,
and I don't know,
why,
but it might have saved my life.

There is a spot
atop a hill
beneath an old shade tree.
It is the place my parents rest
and thus is dear to me.

It is a pleasant spot they chose,
now blanketed in snow.
I place my wreath and give a thought
to a Christmas long ago.

That Christmas Eve my father brought
a tree that filled the room.
My brother worked to fix the lights.
The girls sang Christmas tunes.

Atop the tree an ornament
A star that shone like gold.
Reminder of the miracle
of Christmas long ago.

The house is gone
and they have gone
Their youngest has grown old.
Still I recall my sisters voices
and that star that shone like gold.

I have a new kitty to brighten my day,
to snuggle right up with and sometimes to play,
he's really quite furry,
he's the color of oats,
& good thing for him,
kitty's have coats!

He runs like a madman all over the house,
you'd think he was crazy or chasing a mouse,
he's assmart as a whip,
such a fast furry baby,
he can hide really quick,
and I don't mean maybe!

He makes my day seem oh so sunny,
cuz that silly kitty is gosh-**** funny,
he hops around like a little bunny!

He side steps just like a wee little crab,
as he acts like he's a really bad-***,
that little guys got some serious sass,
& cuz he's so **** cute he gets a free pass!

As soon as I step out of the bed in the morning,
he jumps off  to play without any warning,
he squirms like a squirrel
& he acts kinda nuts,
he likes hiding out in his cute kitty hut,

I've never ever laughed so hard before,
I'm so very glad you were dropped at my door!

All my things are now a chew toy,
nothing off limits for this furry boy!

He likes to bat paper and chase a good stick,
and he's really quite smart he can do a cool trick,
he sits on my shoulder,
& he kisses my nose,
and my darling kitty,
goes where ever I goes,
if I'm ever sad my sweet kitty knows,
as he purrs up a storm,
in the love that he shows,

I love him...he is soooo precious!!!
Obviously a gift!
Thank you for Tanley!

Love,
What on earth do you want with me?
I have tried everything I can think of,
I said everything I can say,
I got lost a lot,
and somewhere along the way,
I still hoped I'd find you
but you're still too elusive for me.
