The Fox - O+S

I found the fox in the woods

she was cold and hungry

I gave her all that I could

I was sure that she loved me and we were thick as thieves.

Through the winter I kept her warm

fed her all she desired

when she told me in so many words

I was the one to save her life

and she would never forget

and I would never be left.

But then one day

I ran out of bread

and wood to keep the fire

and when I woke

I found she had fled

to the house down the river

and I cried all night

because I had thought she was mine.
