    He gazes down from great heights
    Slow blinking, happy he’s got cuddles
    He’ll beg to be held, my fluffy little light
    We’ll sit together, he’ll purr, drool, for a hug puddle

                old prose from reddit

                I could not sleep, awakened afraid
                Under the covers, I begged, I prayed,
                For dawn, or death, for sleep to come
                But mercy ungranted, I knew I was done.
                For I committed a most awful crime
                One for which we’ve all done time
                Exactly the same or slighty changed,
                Have we all made this same mistake?
                I went to Woolies to buy a snack,
                The cashier smiled, I smiled back
                Items scanned, transaction completed
                She said the words that have me defeated
                Smiles and waves, “Enjoy your coffee and snack!”
                “You too!” I regretfully cried back
                Unthinking, unblinking, mid-step away
                I died there, in Woolies, that very day.
