I wish I were a cat

who could b close to you.

You would know I've

claws and teeth,

yet none for you.

For you I have purrs

and I hope you will feed me.

If you won't, I hope

you will hold me for

my last breaths.

But in reality I would

escape bc though

I am occasionally that

stupid for you, usually

I am not.

You don't know

I am your cat

and I won't tell you

because cats don't talk.

If I did have

nine lives,

I'd give the other

eight to you.
