I have something I must confess.

The cat that was taken away by the stray dogs

The cat that we found, dying in a corner

The cat that we brought to the vet immediately

The cat that we all spent a month's pay on

The cat that we watched slowly recover

The cat that grew in our care

The cat that spent so many years together

The cat that brought so much joy

The cat that everyone loved

The cat that, on a sleepy night, was taken away

By the stray dogs

I have something I must confess.

The cat wasn't dying in a corner for no reason

The taxi to the vet wasn't stalled by anybody

The medicine didn't go missing so many times into thin air

The cat didn't recover so slowly because of its weak body

The cat was afraid of everyone for too long not because it was scared of all humans

The cat didn't suffer so many illnesses throughout those years for no reason

The cat couldn't enjoy itself here not because of the food or bed

The cat that...

Not everyone loved.

The cat that, on a frightful night, was taken away

I have something I must confess.

The cat was hurt because of me.

The taxi driver was hit by me.

The medicine was downed in the drain by me.

The cat was poisoned by me.

The cat was abused by me.

The cat was experimented on by me.

The cat couldn't enjoy itself because of me.

The cat that wasn't loved

By me.

The cat that, on an anticipated night, was taken away,

By me.

But would it matter anyway?

Since all of you are dead

Because of me.
