cat in cage

gently he closed the cage
whilst looking at the cat,
hoping it would understand
he's gonna leave it here
in this sad lonely cage

it didn't even try to meow
it didn't even try to scratch
it knew this is gonna to happen someday
when its owner got tired of it

he held his heart for a moment
a wave of guilt swept pass him
but he knew this had to happen
before it got too late

as he walked away
the cat looked on
the tears wont come
but its heart continue to break

as he walked on
he stole a glance on the mirror
it broke his heart
to see how forlorn its cat was

it understood perfectly well
many had hated it
for taking away its owner
from many of his beloved

i couldn't afford to fail again
he thought,
it wasn't its fault
but keeping the cat there
was all he could think of

the cat put a paw on the door
hesitating for a moment
though it knows the way to its owner
he wouldn't like it
the cat put its paw away

money gone, friends gone
he doesn't what that to happen
but that's the stark truth
they come in one package
cat, time, money, energy
he's just tired

it rested its head on its paw
unknowingly, it had became the culprit
the root of everything that is wrong
i'll stay strong, i can survive it here
the cat thinking to itself
through the bars




he let down his friends
friends that were the closest to him
he failed before
something he had never done before
he tried to block all this thoughts
it wasn't the cat's fault
he tried to tell himself
it wasn't anyone's fault

the cat closed its eyes
it won't be weak
it won't be weak

i can stay strong
without seeing him that often
it won't hurt him anymore


hiding its head in its paw
the tears finally came
