Missing: Housecat

I never worried about the street cats

They never knew a home

I never worried about the street cats

They never knew a right from a wrong

I never worried about the street cats

They never answered when they were called

I never should have let her leave the house

When she came back

All she said was

She wanted to sleep it off

When I checked on her

The bed was empty

And the window was open

Was I really a prison?

I only feed the street cats now

They never make it past the proch

And that's alright by me

I never worry about the street cats

And they don't pretend to worry about me
