Lost and Alone©

I dared to take you into my heart

I couldn’t leave you weeping in the park on that cold Winters night

I gave you shelter

I filled your belly

I listened to all that ailed you while filling your belly and offering my sage advice

I watched you toss and turn, crying into the night, begging to be saved

And one day, just like that, you were gone

Where to?

I don’t know

But,

Sometimes I think I see you

Sometimes I think I hear you

Now,

I realize that maybe, just maybe, I need you or another like you

So I don’t feel lost and alone
