Cat's Breath

You are the cat that stole my breath. I was deep in sleep when you snuck in. Your sleek body crouched down and crept up, just like your kin. You pounced on my soul like paper to be played with by a house cat. I let your spirit take the bite. I let myself become the toy mouse filled with catnip, for your pleasure. I knew you needed my healing and I had plenty of energy to give. Foolishly, I thought I had no feelings. Dean Walker
