a cat locked in a house
sleeping all day
in the sunny part of the home
because the bright warmth makes it feel something
when it cannot feel anything
except for confusion
of life’s purpose
when the owner no longer
longs to pet it
since it has grown too old
to be loved and excited for.
The cat cannot simply run away
because at the same time
the owner will search for it
and find a heartbreat
in the loss
of the cat
that no longer
longs to live
in a home
where it is
no longer
feels loved.
