Seems Colder Now

Seems Colder Now

With half the bed empty
and your spot on the couch
Left like a shrine
It seems colder now
Without your purrs to calm me
without your voice in the morning
without your games
Played even when you were old
It seems colder now
Turkey dinners seem boring
Other cats not quite pretty enough
Life seems a little more empty
Seems colder now
Summer has become winter
Spring faded away
Autumn's vibrant colors
dimmed
Seems colder now
I almost got a kitten
A puppy made me smile
Though I'll never replace you
I hope to ease my loneliness
somehow.
