Katwoman

You see with open eyes,
Though I try to close them for you,
How can I feel disdained,
When your words I smile at them,
Like a cat caught in the act,
I feel Im sneaky and Im sly, 
And when the lights flash on,
Im either innocent or high,
Maybe I should own up,
That I'm bittersweet and slightly kind,
But I like the bad cat rep,
So much better than mine.
Im flirty and dismissing,
With the flick of a tail,
And Id rather write a story,
Than have the truth to tell.
Make it interesting, 
Filled with riddles and flash,
Like the fact that I have a heart,
But Its missing in act-
Unable to finish my sentence,
I must be loosing my brain,
Or like a playful kitty just distracted by the game.
Don't get wrapped up,
And caught in my paws,
Or your heart will get slashed.
And you'll feel my pretty claws,
Like a toy mouse you'll sit, 
And I'll play like a cat,
I may be nice, 
But I'm stickin to my act ;)

The Truth has no value without the context of a life, a story to breathe out from - our hearts are always present in our actions, its just a matter of whether or not we permit an honest beat to flourish or if we allow conflict to sputter the pulse - I love your stories Jay, perhaps they are your greatest truth my friend! Thank you, I hope there is another Act - J.A.B. %
