Cries in the night
Same words
Over and over
Different sounds
Drama
I try to soothe you with my voice
No success
You keep pleading
Over and over
This is what you wanted
Have you changed your mind?
Are bad memories haunting you?
Be patient sweet one
Now you can touch me
I was never far away
Your voice changes
All is now well
As if this never happened
Sigh
Such is life
When your cat wants out of the room
