Caregiver"s Lament

I have so little fight left within
So little hope left to carry me
I watch the world roll by
A wave of sorrow
Blinded sided by this heart of mine
I want to stop the world and shout
"Here lies the body of a child forgotten"
"A street cat by any other name"
"A friend of mine"

I feel like there is so little left of me to give
Stop time I want to get off
You look but do you see?
You see but do you care?
They die in the alleyways
In the corner of some abandoned barn
They die at the pleasure of some hit and run driver
From home to street their fate is sealed by cruel owners

So many others I love
So many others I dedicate my life to
So little comforts me at this moment
His memory clouds my mind
Her beauty faded burdens my spirit
The lifeless frame of a kitten I've held
You know this exists but do you care?

I have little fight left within
So little hope to carry me
So little of me left to give
I want to turn away
Spend my time sleeping
For every awaken moment reminds me
How you understand but do you see?
