I used to be cuddled.
adored.
loved.1
But now as the years float past,
dust slowly gathers on me.2
My heart is bruised and torn,
fluff slowly falls down;
like the tears I'm unable to shed.3
The rain drips down the window,
bringing new life in it's path.4
It can't reach me.5
A soft, small hand reaches down and grasps mine,
it's warm like the summers past,
but I can't be warm anymore.6
It cradles me in one arm and takes me outside,
where the rain drips down my face, seeping down from my cold eyes,
it glistens with despair.7
Slowly I start to slip from that small hand,
and fall on the wet pavement,
still smiling.8
The rain starts to invade my fur,
as footsteps run away.9
A flower lands next to me,
the only thing I have now to love.10
Because nobody loves me .

That was so sad... and so well-written. I really liked this! The imagery is great and the emotions are easy to feel and relate to. Thank you for entering! I love it.

This is a very touching, sad, lonely poem. Very fitting for your prompt. Good Luck in the contest.
Minor housekeeping:
second stanza first line, did you mean "now" and I also don't think you need a semi-colon because you are continuing the same thought. A comma would suffice.
Personally, I don't care for punctuation in a poem. With that being said, it didn't take away from your poem, it's just me. Lovely writing. Keep up the great work hun!
