letter to someone who can't read

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

every day she waits for me
by the front door,
eyes wide,
waiting for me to come home,
nite or day she doesn't complain,
she knows nothing of politics or of wars,
doesn't read a newspaper or watch tv,
she sleeps all day curled in a ball
in the sunlite on the floor,
she knows nothing of time clocks,
paychecks or bills to pay..
all she needs is a new can of food,
fresh water and a warm lap to lay on..
she's eighteen years old and her
days will soon be over,
she can have the things she needs,
i can give her that,
because
she's showed me how to love again, 
unconditionally..

Reason for writing:
