Just a thought since I've suddenly become fascinated with poems. I don't really know yet. Speaking of which have a happier poem.

Autumn

Fresh leaves on the ground
Crunching against my feet
A still breeze in the air, threatening to blow
I know not where to go
Or which way leads to home
A dog by my side, my only friend
I look around
Debating on whether to go away again
I want to return to my place
But the future seems to want to keep me in a case
Away from everyone who loved me
Keep me feeling alone, a disgrace
I walk along some more
Turning back the way I came deciding I couldn't handle it anymore
A gentle whine and forced step forward
I feel myself turn to see what I was looking for
A smiling face, open arms, a warm embrace
I stand there a while tears in my eyes
The words on my lips as I whisper my last goodbyes
The arms grow tighter around giving me no way to leave
The gentle words of his voice rejecting mine
"Leave, you will not. Stay with me and we will be forever happy."
Stayed with him, I did
And I have not regret it since
The man with the happy smile and big heart took me in
And here I reside, a smile on my face
Knowing very well that I'm anything but a disgrace
