Oh, here comes another stray<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(and I, with my bleeding heart)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put out the food and draw them in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give them what they need to heal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then watch them as they walk away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
back to the home that sent them here<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe a touch too quick to judge<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one might be the one that stays<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The one to finally give back<\/p>\n\n\n\n
at least a part of what they\u2019ve taken<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, that\u2019s just a fantasy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
born of the aforementioned heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one will be just like the rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As always, this is just a phase<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A stepping stone to greater things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A place to come to find your way<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inevitably they\u2019ll carry on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and I\u2019ll be waiting for the next<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make sure the heart keeps bleeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the arms still open wide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another stray to feed and care for<\/p>\n\n\n\n
another claw and tooth to bite<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
