When we adopted Vivi we immediately noticed something was wrong with her jaw as it wasn't fully opening. Due to a vet shortage in my area we were only able to have her seen recently and it turns out she may have suffered a broken jaw before we found her. We are setting another appointment to have x-rays done with the hope that surgery can help.
I don't really have a lot of friends in life. I spend a lot of time lonely and I think my catalogue of poetry is a testament to that but Vivi has filled me with joy this past month. And I will do everything in my power to save her the way she saved me from the pain inside. All I can do right now is hope for the best.
The shadows came
From the Gallows Pole
To chase me
Infecting my brain
To make me think
Maybe
I should take my own life
At the Gallows Pole
When love leads to heartbreak
And silence to loneliness
The poison was potent
Until
A different shadow came
In the form of a black kitten
To chase me
And cleanse my mind
To make me think
Maybe
I should love my own life
And shun the Gallows Pole
When comforted purrs
Lead to warmth and joy
Vivi's love was potent
And now I will do anything
To make sure she thrives
