Unrequited Love

Prompt: The Unrequited Love Poem

We adopted a sweet kitten 
with little white mittens
who loved her human mum the most

But her human male figure
who loved her much bigger
was treated by the kitten, like a ghost

He petted the kitten and treated her fair
and doted on her every whim
But the little cat
didn't care about that, 
and still preferred her to him

Try as he might
even in the middle of night
the kitten would cuddle only with she

Until at long last
after two years has passed
the full-grown cat went and snuggled with he
