She's down there, crying again.
She knows what she can do to help herself
But she just wants to cry
They get louder, then softer
Boldly, then sadly
No matter the sound, the purpose is the same
She's desperate, wailing, waiting
When you try to help it only makes her louder
You want the cries to stop
She won't stop until the day she dies
You want to hear her cry again more than anything in the world.

My cat meows a lot a night.
In case you're wondering, she has recently died. I miss her meowing now. I wrote this a couple months before she died, and I guess I was right about that last line.
