Curious Kitten
Inquisitive, needy, desperate
That's me
Always mewling at your doorstep
Follow closely at your heels
So
You could never once think of leaving
Me behind
I disgust myself
It's too late to shake me
Now;
You've already fed me
Though I'm ashamed, I never hesitate
To beg you still for more
I'm
Famished otherwise, and even then,
I've drawn this path too
Many times
It's too late to shake me
Now;
You're already mine
And the guilt settles in
Like
Amber leaves clog up your gutters
And the truth, it burns at
Me
Like the fire churns the wood
Laid at your hearth
Discount my pelt of night and
Jealous, emerald eyes
Take them not for evil, but for
A form of love in disguise
Take me instead to be your cherished
Pet
Love me as if I were your own, as
If I really belonged with you
Humor me, for once, when I tell you
That I love you
When I bite my own tongue, release it
Give me the words that
I could say
Teach me how to keep you, even as
You write me off and make me
Say goodbye
Or better yet, surprise me by
Asking me to stay
Let me believe in love by telling
Me that this is somehow
Irrevocably okay
