[C] Stray Cat

Ok, the writing and word choice in this poem sucks, but...yeah. XD

Stray Cat

I saw him every day
For he was just standing on the stairs
And he always caught me unawares.
I was the new kid in town
And had not one friend
I just wanted this awful loneliness to end.

He was on the porch every noon
After school each day
And when I came up to him
He really wanted to play.
He was starved and abused
But he seemed to love me so
I wondered if I could keep him
But I suspected the answer was no.

I named the kitty Stray
And he became my comfort source
For whenever I felt sad
He was there to make the tears go away
And he became my friend for those long, lonely days.

One day, I tragically saw him die
When a car accidentally hit him as it was passing by.
I cried and cried and cried
But a girl saw my pain
She stayed out there to comfort me
Even in the rain.

I thanked her
And she just smiled at me.
But now I finally could see
This girl was my friend
My loneliness did end.
Even though she is still my best friend to this day,
I will always remember my little friend, Stray.
