Hush! No! Nay! Who says?!
It was just the other day he held my hand to his heart
To feel his love for me beat without fears.
Love, do you so quickly drop my hand and depart?

And is that the dress she will wear?
The one you are stitching now? 
Such beautiful lace, it would be so unfortunate to tear… 
No, no - not my beloved, please tell me how!

Oh! A kitty has gotten into the lace!
Your meows will go unanswered dear
As it’s a puzzle you will have to embrace,
Although the pain is too much for us to bear.

Curse this mirror! I can’t bear the sight of me.
But what does he see that I do not?
My skin is fair, and hair as dark as it may be, 
At least it is not bought!

Listen to yourself! Be wild and done with it!
Sweet kitty, let me guide you free.
We both would make for an interesting exhibit,
But questions are not answered by pleas. 

Your talent is unparalleled, so please forgive my intrusion. 
Come kitty, it seems you and I are of true minds.
And have solace in this thought that will temper our confusion,
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.
