Please Love Me Poem by Philip Carter

I look out through the bars
At the people passing by
I feel so very sad
But I don't know how to cry
I haven't done a bad thing
But I'm locked away alone
I call out to the people
But they don't recognize my tone
I only want somebody
To take me from this place
And give lots of honest love
And bring a smile upon my face
But everyday they just walk by
And seem not to notice me
At night I dream of happy times
Of being able to wander free
Please someone take me home
Let me live with you
And I will return your love
I will always be true
It's no fun being left alone
In this shelter day after day
A cat is good companion
And I will never stray.
