Begging My Cat For Forgiveness
by Amy WustrinPlease, baby, please
Don't
Don't look at me like that
Don't think I want it
To end like this
Don't think you're not my heart and soul
Please, baby, one more
One more wet-nosed
Eskimo Kiss
I love you
You know that
This isn't my design
Please, baby, please
I know you'll be lonely
I know you'll be scared
I don't know what will become of you
But I sure wish I could take your place
My sweet feline angel
No, baby, please
Please don't look so betrayed
Please don't walk away so sad
Please don't hate me for this
Or hate me
If it means
You won't forget me
I'll never forget you
I love you, baby
So much
I'm so ashamed
It's come to this
You deserve much better
My precious love
I hope so hard
Against all hope
That you find it very quickly
But please, baby, don't
Dont ever
Feel unwanted
I always wanted you
I always will 06/23/2005 Author's Note: *sigh* my dear sweet cat didnt even do anything wrong. :'(

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 06/24/05 at 05:31 AM Amy, this poem really got to me - I can't stop crying because you write from experience I've had. I don't know what happened to your cat, but it can't have been anything pleasant, and I'm sure you grieve deeply in your heart and soul. Grief needs no critiquing, the words come from a place that anyone who hasn't been through it can't understand. Those who have know the gut-wrenching feeling too well. Beautiful words Amy, I hope your heart heals soon.

| Posted by Amanda J Cobb on 01/31/06 at 11:23 PM You have a talent for expressing how you feel very clearly and uniquely. Your poems are also easy to relate to, at least for me. I actually wrote a poem about this same kind of experience: Pepper |
