He Breaks My Heart

He breaks my heart One day he showed up at my door. Then for awhile he didn't no more. Then one day he come back around. But you just can't make up lost ground. I heard he got some girl in trouble. Then said bartender, make it a double. Trying to find his way back out. Knowing fair well that there's no doubt. He just didn't know how he would share her. His angered fear started to scare her. She called for help, he went away. And now he's come back here to stay. I've never known a more lonesome soul. He just seemed to crawl back in a hole. A place to stay until he dies. Not knowing there's someone for him that cries. Day in day out he's all alone. Sometimes I swear I hear him moan. I pray that he'll make a new start. But, until then he breaks my heart.

Thanks Deb. It's about a feral cat named Goldie that came and stayed in my feral house and by my stoops. But now this past cold winter, he came in my house. It takes time to get a feral cat to calm down and trust. But worth it to know he is now safe and warm and fed. He like's it. :) <3
