Ebony

The deepest most lustrous black

She's also my cat

I've been her fur taker going on 13 years

Aw man the memories we share

She's been my partner,

She knows her name

She's sillier than me sometimes

She is a ball of chocolate flame

Remember that fire and how I grabbed you first?

Then busted open the other roommates doors before the flames spread

Had watched the fire department destroy a good part of our stead

You were there thru my father passing away of aids

And the bouts of depression that ensued

You had helped me thru so much, and I'm thankful
