His Love Never Returned

His Love Never Returned 

he cried his lost sweet cat
a ball of fur so soft
and eyes so keen and bright
that tail always wagging
with paws reaching to play

the little joy gone
it's been four sad days
of tortured vigil
of looking for her
high and low in trance

the haunts he checked
and back roads past
bridges open
to green pastures
she may have gone

black clouds found
and heartache 
her absence 
setting storm
to his heart

he cried
deeply
of her
escape
from his

life
