Dear Kitty,
Every night
You come and sit by my door
Wail your small lungs out
As if demanding for my attention
Your big eyes, imploring and resolute
" Let me in!"
They seem to say
Where are you from?
Who do you belong to?
Isn't your true owner looking for you?
Do you have a name?
She must be sad
She must be looking for you
She must be sad to have lost you
Pretty thing
Pretty little thing
I like the way your velvet fur feels
Under my fingers
The purring sounds
You make
As I carry you around the house
I have let you into my home
But I can't let you into my heart
Sweet little thing
I wish I could take you
Keep you with me
But I can't
Go home, kitty
You don't belong to me
