I HAVE TO GO!

I have to go,
do not wait for me,
It's not you I' am afraid of,
but it's my own.

I have to go,
for he is younger 
and stronger,
while my bones,
are weaker, older.

Living on this street,
my entire life,
I learned no kindness,
there was none,
to show me what it is.

I fought, I won,
many battles, 
all for food, 
and to call some space,
as my home. 

I lost my tooth,
and my partial vision,
as I cannot fight aging,
and then I found you.

Thankyou for the food,
but I can't trust you more,
for all my life,
your species was unkind.

I have to go,
for I have no strength,
to fight, to live,
no home to be safe.

I trust none,
for trust is a trap.
I make no promises,
for I am tired.

I've killed,
big and small,
I regret none,
for what I did,
Is to live. 

I have to go,
as I am scared,
for my body,
cannot support anymore.

Until, we meet again,
Yours,
Tom Cat
