Gilgamesh

The house used to be warm when they were all home 
Not the house is gone and I'm all alone 
A stray on the street with no where to go 
I wish I could tell them I miss them so
Trudging through alleys in the sleet and rain 
Hoping one day I'll be there again
Down on my luck I'm just grasping at straws 
I push down the feeling and press on on torn paws 
Searching for light I'm always chasing that car 
Run ragged and crooked, towards my guiding star 
Will I catch it this time?
Will it help me be where you are?
