I Loved Him


It was early December when I first met him. He was a little timid at first, He hid under the seat until the lights went dim. He was as horrible as a curse. I loved him. We knew each other for four short months Before he died. It's only been a month But it feels as if my brain and heart have been fried. I loved him. His name was Jaxx. He was cool and he loved me. I'm only glad his death wasn't by ax. He was the best kitty. I loved him. He used the litter box. He snuggled at night. He had a weird obsession with socks. I regret not showing him how to fight. I loved him. He was killed by wild dogs. I blame my mother. I was gone for a jog. So why bother? I loved him.
