she left me for a woman

She left me for a woman. What can I say it just happened . a lost puppy she avoided me at first but ate the food skeptical in her young life, she has suffered cruelty I was watching TV when she decided to  throw her lot in with me,  but he head on my left food, how did she know I was a lefty sat for an hour, not daring to move she woke, stretched, and made signs she needed a pee, but I had to go with her  Now that I was the master, I made rules  which she ignored at times She had my mascot from Norway because it had unblinking eyes when I sat writing she was in the kitchen drinking water my mascot she mauled I told her off, but she made it clear you shall not love anyone but me For thirteen years, our relationship lasted I drove her around in winter because she liked to sleep by the hum of the motor What do you know, when a woman entered  she fell in love with her and followed her around like a proper dog I think she sensed my heartache, often when trying to make sense of my writing  she came, but her head on my knee, looking at me as saying, you are ok, mate, but this is one of those things
