CAT

The cat's got a mouse
I'm sick with him for how
He plays a game before the kill
Experiments of will

He looks as though to say
It's a nature not a fault
But I have tried that trick myself
As I put someone through hell
It doesn't change the putrid or the pain

So maybe it's deserved
His body's breaking young
I'm still sad to get the news
Even if it's just

Morning at the vet
And she pinched the pinch of death
And I will never understand
Why it hurt so bad
To hold and watch the monster fade away

I feel him getting closer every day
