Splash From My Tears
Like an alley cat you crouch,
ready to pounce in an instant.
A touch!
gentle, yet arrogant.
Tendrils of your hair
wrapped around my fragile soul;
I gasp for air
for I can't even feel my sole.
While I left the door to my heart ajar,
you snaked your paw in.
Can't you see you've gone too far?
My breath grows thin.
Deep is the scar you left in my heart;
still, I'll bear the heat.
Your words are poisonous darts.
...you blew me a kiss of deceit.
